Not much for me. I might use the regex functions, but would be happy  
to manually pass the "i" flag.

However, if someone with a lot more C and Pg core knowledge wanted to  
sit down with me for a couple hours next week and help me bang out  
these functions, that would be great. I'd love to have the  
implementation be that much more complete.

I do believe that, as it stands now in the v4 patch, citext is pretty  
close to ready, and certainly commit-able.

Thanks,
