Or we could just setup encodings/locales per column and the problem
goes away entirely. Most of the code's already been written, it's not
even terribly difficult. Where we're stuck is that we can't agree on a
source of locale data. People don't want the ICU or glibc data and
there's no other source as readily available.

Perhaps we should fix that problem, rather than making more
workarounds.

Have a nice day,
