I think the core code is only locally broken now, with issues like LIKE
index optimization probably not doing the right thing. The main problem
at this point is probably plpgsql. To get far with that, we're going to
need to extend the parser's Param interfaces to allow specification of a
collation for a Param. And SPI too. (Yay, still another generation of
SPI interfaces that we'll have to support forever...)
So, another couple days minimum before it's reasonable to ship. At
least if you want stuff like this to work:
