To create a collation using the ICU provider, based on the root ICU locale,
with custom rules:
<programlisting>
<![CDATA[CREATE COLLATION en_custom (provider = icu, locale = 'en', rules = '&a < g');]]>
<![CDATA[CREATE COLLATION custom (provider = icu, locale = 'und', rules = '&V << w <<< W');]]>
</programlisting>
With this rule, the letter <quote>W</quote> is sorted after
<quote>V</quote>, but is treated as a secondary difference similar to an
accent. Rules like this are contained in the locale definitions of some
languages. (Of course, if a locale definition already contains the desired
rules, then they don't need to be specified again explicitly.) See the ICU
documentation for further details and examples on the rules syntax.
