I remember Tom saying that builtin functions calls are a lot faster than
loadable C functions.

If that can be fixed, then it *could* stay loadable.

Also, having built-in full text indexing is very desirable. And I don't
see any even nearly as good competing fulltext indexing modules
anywhere.

If we had to move something *out* of core in order to get tsearch in,
then I personally would not mind if all geometry types go to gborg, but
I'm sure there are some users who would mind ;)
