Does include ICU mean that collation handling is identical across platforms?
E.g. a query on Linux involving string comparison would yield the same
result on MacOS and Windows?
Yes, it does and that's the most important issue for us.
Yes, exactly. Attached patch adds support for libicu with configure flag --with-icu. Patch rebased to current HEAD, hope, it works.
It's based on https://people.freebsd.org/~girgen/postgresql-icu/readme.html work, and it was migrated to 9.5 with abbrevation keys support.
Patch in current state is not ready to commit, of course.
