My name is a good example in French. Clément and Clement are not pronounced the 
same at all. I gave other examples in other messages.
My writing French with an american keyboard has nothing to do with this 
feature; we're talking about searching, not input methods.

I was not trying to change your POV; mostly to understand it. I think you've 
described a use case that is not covered by the current implementation (you 
want character folding to be smart, and to recognize whether the user knows 
that ñ and n are more different than á and a before folding deciding whether to 
fold ñ into n). But why should your use case not being covered by the current 
implementation prevent that implementation from becoming the default?
