We are testing fts+timestamp combination right now. The challenge is to
have posting list/tree sorted by addinfo (timestamp) not by item pointer.
It works already, but we are not quite satisfied with generated WAL traffic
and are researching some options in improving posting tree building and
generic wal.

We have in mind some sort of generalization like anyarray, but don't have
any real ideas.
