The original complaint wasn't too clear. But I agree with Robert that
case-insensitive comparison is about as far as it seems safe to go in
trying to allow for variant spellings of locale names. I would think
that a platform that randomly whacks such names around is going to find
a whole lot of software breaking, not only Postgres.
