I think this might be too big of a compatibility break.  So far, 
initcap('123abc') has always returned '123abc'.  If the new collation 
returns '123Abc' now, then that's quite a change.  These are not some 
obscure Unicode special case characters, after all.

What is the ICU configuration incantation for this?  Maybe we could have 
the builtin provider understand some of that, too.

Or we should create a function separate from initcap.
