OTOH, I see that the very next sentence mentions to_tsquery without
defining it. So maybe it wouldn't be materially less readable if we
just changed the examples to use to_tsquery and to_tsvector instead
of literal-casting. Either way, there is something going on that
doesn't meet the eye, and we might as well write an example that is
actually OK practice rather than bad practice.
