The only issue here (not a major one, maybe not even worth fixing, but
probably worth mentioning) is that the discussion of case folding is
more than a screen away and that it isn't immediately clear that there
is more discussion.  It is probably understandable that some people
would miss it (I did, a moment ago, until you mentioned it).  A simple
(see below) might be a good idea.   Then again it might be a good
thing for someone else (not generally engrossed in development on the
project) to submit a patch for :-)

Best Wishes,
