It's not a comment. It's a description that comes from ICU. Just like
when collations are added by initdb, so that there is some kind of
parity. The user doesn't get a say in what it is.
It helps the user to verify that they're getting what they thought
they were, which seems very valuable, given how loosely the 'locale'
string they provide may be interpreted.
