Well, _bt_compare is used for every btree index in the system,
including all the system indexes. A fresh initdb already has several
dozen indexes already so your code has to deal with that.
Remember, _bt_compare compares strings, integers, floats, dates, etc
and your code needs to work for all of them too... What does it mean to
compare dates case-insensetivly?
Yes, shouldn't you just be making a simple new string type that's case
insensitive?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
