That's a valid point. We'll still need a way to map OS locale to
whatever internal names we invent for them, though, so I'm not sure if
the pg_collation catalog helps much, but just moves the problem
elsewhere. The pg_dump output of the CREATE COLLATION statements still
wouldn't be portable from one OS to another.
