Ah, sorry, I understand that *you* added the COLLATE.  Revering
select_views.sql/out to master actually causes a regression error.

The reason for that is that you forgot to edit an alternative
exptect file, which matches for en_US locale.

But the test doesn't for collation and the only difference
between the alternative expect files comes from the difference of
collation for the query. "the workaround" seems to be the right
way to do it. I recommend rather to leave the workaroud as it is
and remove select_views_1.out from the "expected" directory.

Aside from that, I'd like to comment this patch on other points
later.
