The problem with this is what happens to indexes on shared relations.
If you change the collation, they are no longer valid.  And you can't
just reindex them, because then they would no longer be valid for other
databases.

Maybe it would work if we forced indexes on shared relations to be
scanned using a fixed collation.

Not sure about the ctype part ...
