AFAICT this only deals with the issue of single-byte characters that
sort in an order different from their numeric order. The existing
make_greater_string() code already deals with that case. Where it
falls down is cases where sorting is context-dependent (multi-pass
sort rules, digraphs, things like that). But I don't see anything
here that would make such cases work.
If you're trying to tell us that the 7.0.* code works correctly for
KOI8-R locale, we'd be glad to re-enable LIKE optimization for that
locale ...
