I rebased this patch, and tweaked get_collation_action_version() very
slightly so that you get collation version change detection (of the
ersatz kind provided by commit d5ac14f9) for the default collation
even when not using ICU. Please see attached.
+struct pg_locale_struct global_locale;
Why not "default_locale"? Where is the terminology "global" coming from?
+ Specifies the collation provider for the database.
"for the database's default collation"?
