The RFC of SCRAM, RFC5802 is clear on the matter
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802), SASLprep needs NFKC (RFC4013
here, the worst in the set https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4013) if we
want our implementation to be compatible with any other Postgres
driver that implement things at protocol level without libpq. I think
that JDBC is one of those things. So I am afraid we cannot avoid it if
we want SCRAM.
