I agree. Maybe we're just discussing two different features? 

* One is unicode standard character folding; it's implemented, it works as 
designed, it has very clear semantics based on a recognized standard, but we're 
not sure if it should be enabled by default (I'd vote yes).

The other is language-dependent character folding; it isn't implemented (though 
some people think it could reuse some of the architecture used for unicode 
folding), it doesn't have clear semantics (it's a matter of user-preference, 
though we might be able to come up with good defaults), and many people would 
love such a feature.
