Not really, and in any case the C locale completely disables any
knowledge of Unicode. C locale knows about 7-bit ASCII and nothing
more.
And the locale can only be set by initdb?
I don't suppose that there are any collations that sort and index case-
insensitively, are there? I don't see anything suggestive in `locale -
a`…
