I'm still of the opinion that we should make C the default locale.
But I'm not sure where the consensus is, so I've not made the change.

Peter has provided a hack whereby one can create a LIKE-supporting index
in a non-C locale. But a *default* index in a non-C locale is still not
going to support LIKE ... and the hacked index will not support ordinary
comparison or ordering operators. So I think there's still a lot left
to be desired here.
