Gotta say, I’m thrilled to see movement on this front, and especially pleased to see how consensus seems to be building around an abstracted interface to keep options open. This platform-specific example really highlights the need for it (I had no idea that there was separate and more up-to-date collation support in Core Foundation than in the UNIX layer of OS X).

Really looking forward to seeing where we end up.

Best,
