I agree with you, however the resistance (AFAICS) comes mostly from the
fact that we would be depending on an external library to do it. I
don't think postgres should try doing it itself, given that the unicode
character databases are quite large by themselves.

Alternativly, the postgres group could produce a customised version of
ICU that's smaller (the website has details about how). But any case,
this problem will need to be addressed at some point.

Have a nice day,
