+            if (lccollateEl || lcctypeEl)
+                collprovider = COLLPROVIDER_LIBC;
+            else

The docs for the CREATE COLLATION option 'locale' say: "This is a
shortcut for setting LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE at once."

So it's not intuitive why the check does not include a test for the
presence of 'localeEl', as well? If we consider the presence of
LC_COLLATE _or_ LC_CTYPE options to be a determining factor for some
decision, then the presence of LOCALE option should also lead to the
same outcome.

Otherwise the patch looks good.

I believe v11 is a typo, and you really meant v1.
