There really isn't a point to bothering.  In glibc, for example, nearly 
all the UTF-8 locales (Canadian English is the sole exception in the 
copy I'm peeking at right now)  link to one generic collating sequence.

Practically, collating isn't a big deal anyway, since the foo[abcde]bar 
form will work regardless.
