Hello.

While browsing character set collation documentation [1]
I've found myself a bit puzzled by unfamiliar terminology:
> of course a domain over a collatable data type is collatable

Of course, it only takes a search or two to find out the exact
meaning of "domain" in this context, but I think it would be useful
to make this word a link to the relevant section as a help for less experienced users like myself.

I've attached a patch that does that. Please let me know whether this fix is desirable and correct (I'm new to Postgres) and if there is a better way of suggesting an improvement for the documentation.
