Wouldn't it be possible to create a variant of regexp_replace, i.e. regexp_replace(citext,citext,text), which would again lower-case the first two arguments before passing the input to regexp_replace(text,text,text)?

Sure, but then you end up with this:

template1=# select regexp_replace( 'Fxx'::citext, 'X'::citext, 'o');
regexp_replace
----------------
foo
(1 row)

Which is just wrong. I'm going to look at the regex C functions today and see if there's an easy way to just always pass them the 'i' flag, which would do the trick. That still won't help replace(), split_part(), or translate(), however.

Best,
