I wasn't clear. I mean main table sorted by some default in accordance to
Unicode ranges, i.e. Cyrillic, Greek, etc. and small per specific language
table above it. It allows to not store full unicode sorting for each
language.
BTW, I think the best place to discuss this matter is i18n at freebsd.org
list.
