What about per-index?

Thinking about presentation of a data set for different locales. e.g. I
want it sorted the way i expect it, but somebody viewing in $language
probably wants it in their collation.

Is this a sensible idea or am I just completely missing the issues?
Per index is reasonable, but the case where the declare collation for the index is different from the effective collation of the connection. They the collations are different, the index can be used for equality retrievals (99% of all retrievals anyway) but not for range retrieval or for optimizing a sort.

I think this is the way it has to work.
