Not much for me. I might use the regex functions, but would be happy
to manually pass the "i" flag.

However, if someone with a lot more C and Pg core knowledge wanted to
sit down with me for a couple hours next week and help me bang out
these functions, that would be great. I'd love to have the
implementation be that much more complete.

I do believe that, as it stands now in the v4 patch, citext is pretty
close to ready, and certainly commit-able.

Thanks,
