Agreed, but it would be nice to have an alternative that does the right
thing.
It's awkward for a user to read pg_database.datlocprovider, then
depending on that, either look in datcollate or daticulocale. (It's
awkward in the code, too.)
Maybe some built-in function that returns a tuple of the default
provider, the locale, and the version? Or should we also output the
ctype somehow (which affects the results of upper()/lower())?
