Right. But isn't that the problem? Case folding is a subset
of character folding, where the equivalence class is defined
by ignoring letter case.
This new thing is a catch-all, no? It means (apparently)
all character equivalences except for case folds.
We should foresee the possibility (and I hope the reality)
of multiple other character foldings, besides case folding.
And yes, each should have a name that suggests the kind of
equivalence that is involved.
What can we say about the kind of equivalence that is involved
in this catch-all? How can we be more specific than, say,
"char folding other than case" - e.g., non-case char-folding?
