[GENERAL] Redefine operator = for text

[yura]

Hello All,

Is it possible to change the behavior of operator "=" for text? I
wolud like to redefine this operator in order to it compare strings
without checking of letter case.
I tried the following:

create function TextEqual(text, text)
  returns bool
  as '
  begin
    if texteq(upper($1), upper($2)) then
      return TRUE;
    else
      return FALSE;
    end if;
  end;
  '
  language 'plpgsql';

drop operator = (text, text);
create operator = (
        leftarg=text,
        rightarg=text,
        procedure=TextEqual,
        commutator='=',
        negator='<>',
        restrict=eqsel,
        join=eqjoinsel
        );


This works, but after that many queries return error "unknown operator
98".
