Um, I'm confused ...

Can a backend configured with MULTIBYTE and running in non-SQL_ASCII
encoding ever sort strings in non-character-code ordering, even if it
is in C locale? I should think that such behavior is highly likely
for multibyte character sets.
If it can, then we mustn't allow a non-MULTIBYTE backend to run in
such a database, I think.
