Regarding status of this patch: Marina is the original author of the patch, but I'm interested in pushing it.
Basically,I've asked Marina to provide some code from Postgres Pro to discuss the feature.
Daniel have raised important interface question in his review. Using libc-style locale in lc_collate is not a perfect
choicefor many ICU-only collations.
I'd work on patch if I knew how to improve the interface, but I need input from community: how this interface should
looklike.
I have intention to provide some solution for this question before next CF, but found no enough time during this CF
(besiderebase).
Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
