CockroachDB, like PostgreSQL, intends to preserve the case of SQL identifier that are entered between double quotes, such that e.g.

CREATE TABLE "Abc"
CREATE ROLE "Abc"

preserve the case and result in a thing named "Abc".

Meanwhile, without double quotes the identified is case-folded and unicode-folded with NFC.

However, we want the NFC to occur also with double-quoted identifiers! This is because we do not want to have e.g. two tables named "è", one named with the single accented later and one with the 3-character combined diacritic.

Today this normalization does not take place, so we can see these ambiguous table/db/column names side-by-side which is poor UX.
