Hi Jeff,

I have reviewed 0001-0004 and got a few comments:

I was curious why “inline” is needed, then I figured out when I tried to build. 
Without “inline”, compile will raise warnings of “unused function”. So I guess 
it’s better to explain why “inline” is used in the function comment, otherwise 
other readers may get the same confusion.

With “change in length”, I confirmed “Unicode 5.18.2” means the Unicode 
Standard Section 5.18.2 “Complications for Case Mapping”. Why don’t we just 
give the URL in the comment.

I don’t get this change. In old code, depending on locale->ctype->strfold, it 
calls strfold or strlower. But in this patch, it only calls strfold. Why? If 
that’s intentional, maybe better to add a comment to explain that.

In pg_strfold, the ctype==NULL fallback code is exactly the same as 
pg_strlower. I guess you intentionally to not call pg_strlower here for 
performance consideration, is that true?
