The documentation for ts_headline() recommends using a sub-select to
avoid extra evaluations of ts_headline() in a query with ORDER BY+LIMIT.
Since commit
9118d03a8 this contortionism is unnecessary, so remove the
recommendation. Noted by Oleg Bartunov.

<para>
<function>ts_headline</> uses the original document, not a
<type>tsvector</type> summary, so it can be slow and should be used with
- care. A typical mistake is to call <function>ts_headline</function> for
- <emphasis>every</emphasis> matching document when only ten documents are
- to be shown. <acronym>SQL</acronym> subqueries can help; here is an
- example:
-
-<programlisting>
-SELECT id, ts_headline(body, q), rank
-FROM (SELECT id, body, q, ts_rank_cd(ti, q) AS rank
- FROM apod, to_tsquery('stars') q
- WHERE ti @@ q
- ORDER BY rank DESC
- LIMIT 10) AS foo;
-</programlisting>
+ care.
