Could you build this?

Partial Building a standard PostgreSQL extension shell is straightforward, but replicating specialized text-search behavior (TIN-compatible search) inside the PostgreSQL C engine demands database internals knowledge.

What it would actually take: The extension must be written in C or Rust (using pgrx) hooking into PostgreSQL's internal index access methods, parser hooks, and execution node callbacks. The primary difficulty is mocking or emulating the exact query semantics, cost estimation, and indexing mechanics of TIN full-text search. Deep familiarity with PostgreSQL server programming and internal memory contexts is required.
