Would we be the first major database to support custom collation rules?
This sounds useful for testing, experimentation, hacking, etc.
What are some of the use cases? Is it helpful to comply with unusual or
outdated standards or formats? Maybe there are people using special
delimiters/terminators and they need them to be treated a certain way
during comparisons?
