Is it? Given the wild and wonderful behaviors of locales here and
there, I wouldn't want to assume that such an equivalence holds.
In particular I note that iclike() seems to be multibyte-aware while
lower() definitely is not. Even if that's just a bug, it's a big leap
to assume that ILIKE is equivalent to LIKE on lower(). Think about
Turkish i/I, German esstet (did I spell that right?), ch in various
languages, etc etc.
