I compared with glibc el_GR.UTF-8 and el_CY.UTF-8 locales, and the
ctype semantics match C.UTF-8 for all code points. glibc is not doing
this additional tailoring for "el".
Therefore I believe the builtin CTYPE would be very useful for case
mapping (both "simple" and "full") even without this additional
tailoring.
You are correct that ICU will still have some features that won't be
supported by the builtin provider. Better word boundary semantics in
INITCAP() are another advantage.
