indexable and locale

Hello again,
I thought I should start making some small contibutions before 7.0.

Attached is a patch to the old problem discussed feverly before 6.5.
What is does:
for locale-enabled servers:
    use index if last char before '%' is ascii.
for non-locale servers:
    do not use locale if last char is non-ascii since it is wrong anyway.

Comments?

regards,
--
