So basically, the problem is that any fix for case folding would touch a
fair bit of code and possibly cause other problems. However, I haven't
seen anyone worry about performance issues in such a fix, just that it
might be a fair bit of work.
However, if it is not on the TODO list already, it seems that it should
be there as it really is necessary for standards-compliance.
