Just keep them as cstrings and use strcmp. We're only keeping the array
sorted so that we can binary search it, so we don't need proper
locale-dependent collation. Note that we already assume that two strings
('text's) are equal if and only if their binary representations are
equal (texteq() uses strcmp).
