Please don't do that. Most Asian chasets does not work with locale enabled PostgreSQL installation. i.e. it returns WRONG SELECT results. I've been telling this to Japanese users for hundreds of times when they ask me why SELECT returns results. If that kind of wanings are installed, I think more Japanese users will be confused.

You've advocated a default of --no-locale yourself for this reason. If using a Japanese --encoding setting without --no-locale emitted a warning suggesting the use of --no-locale, I'd imagine you wouldn't have had to give human support to most of those hundreds of people?

Wouldn't that be a halfway point to your goal?
