 Description   

Basically the same as my experimental "utf8-general-ci" proof of concept, but as part of the server, and well tested.

(e.g. AFAIR mine did still treat 'ß' as the same as 'ss' which it actually shouldn't)

See also utf8mb4_0900_as_ci in MySQL 8.0.x, which should actually provide exactly that as far as I understand their new collation naming scheme ...
