actually, it's not so difficult to *hack* parser to treat '/' as '-'.
I thought about overriding some default parser behaviour, but didn't come
to any useful solution.
btw, some users already wrote their own parsers and even I have little
tutorial:
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/docs/HOWTO-parser-tsearch2.html
I wonder if it's worth to add it to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/test-parser.html
Probably, good paper/presentation along with improving code docs would be
enough for now, until someone got very bright idea about parser and
time to implement it.
