Where would be an easy place to find all the renamed functions?

My experience with fts is limited to one project, and I just used all
the default dictionaries, so I've never even played with any of that.

That being said, I'd be happy to write up what I can (and I can try to
put together a list of the renamed functions).

Is there any chance there is an easier way to backup/restore? On one
hand, its not too bad, and it'll only be once (correct?). Now that fts
is in core future backup/restores will work, right? I think it's
analogous to telling someone they are updating from tsearch2 to
tsearch3, and it might be a little more painful than just a backup/restore.

On the other hand I think a backup/restore will pollute the new db with
a bunch of functions and types that wont ever be used, so it's so much
cleaner to build it by hand.

Are there other fts users that might have opinions on that?
