I think the real problem here is that the underlying software mostly
doesn't take this issue seriously. Unfortunately, that leads one to
the conclusion that we need to maintain our own collation code and
data (e.g., our own fork of ICU), and that isn't happening. Unlike
say Oracle, we do not have the manpower; nor do we want to bloat our
code base that much.
Short of maintaining our own fork, ranting about the imperfections
of the situation is a waste of time.
