Is there a concrete plan to get to full collation support (i.e. per 
column) in any known time frame? If not, then I think a citext module 
would be acceptable.

What does still bother me is its performance. I'd like to know if any 
measurement has been done of using citext vs. a functional index on 
lower(foo).
