This came up on irc:

postgres=# show lc_ctype;
  lc_ctype   
-------------
 fr_FR.UTF-8

postgres=# show server_encoding;
 server_encoding 
-----------------
 UTF8
(1 row)

postgres=# select E'\303\201' ILIKE  E'\303\241';
 ?column? 
----------
 t
(1 row)

postgres=# select E'\303\201' ~*  E'\303\241';
 ?column? 
----------
 f
(1 row)

Obviously, this happens because the locale support functions in
backend/regex/regc_locale.c are (presumably intentionally) crippled so
as not to support non-ascii chars, despite all the code there using
wide chars for everything otherwise.

Why is this? It does not appear to be a documented restriction.
