Sure, have at it.  I was thinking that we should make a new regex.sql
test file for any cases that are locale-independent.  If they have any
that are dependent on recognizing non-ASCII characters as letters,
we could perhaps drop those into collate.linux.utf8.sql --- note that
we might need my draft patch from yesterday before anything outside the
LATIN1 character set would pass.
