Yup, I can second that.
Also note, that currently a locale aware index might get corrupted if
you do an OS upgrade (that changes the collation: e.g. add the ?
symbol).
I sortof think, that pg locale support is not yet up to prime time.
If we had something that conformed to the Spec (per column lang and
collation), then yes I would make it mainstream, but as is ?
