The question dealt with trying to acieve case insensitive collation in postgres. Specifically about possibly rewriting
thetext_cmp or the varchareq functions. I am wondering what kind of mayhem that might cause. I was told by someone who
triedit that it's possible to overload the ~~ (like) operator but that dropping the = operator cripples the database so
thatit's not possible to overload the = operator. 
 

As to why I might want to do this I'll answer that one in response to another question :)
