Previously, this code just smashed all types of DefElem values to strings, cavalierly reasoning that nobody would care. But in point of fact, most of the defGetFoo functions do distinguish among different input syntaxes; for instance defGetBoolean will accept 1 as an integer but not "1" as a string. This led to CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY accepting 0 and 1 as values for boolean dictionary properties, only to have the dictionary fail at runtime. We can upgrade this behavior by teaching serialize_deflist that it does not need to quote T_Integer or T_Float nodes' values on output, and then teaching deserialize_deflist to restore unquoted integer or float values as the appropriate node type. This should not break anything using pg_ts_dict.dictinitoption, since that field is just defined as being something valid to include in CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY. deserialize_deflist is also used to parse the options arguments for the ts_headline family of functions, but so far as I can see this won't cause any problems there either: the only consumer of that output is prsd_headline which always uses defGetString. (Really that's a bad idea, but I won't risk changing it here.) This is surely a bug fix, but given the lack of field complaints I don't think it's necessary to back-patch.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
