The upper/lower functions themselves work AFAIK, but I agree that stuff
like ILIKE probably is broken for MB encodings. regex character classes
need help too.

Fooling with that is fairly risky --- we've been burnt before by
locale-dependent case folding of SQL identifiers. In particular
it'd be really bad if the folding could change on-the-fly at runtime.
