25.1.50; Character folding issues with isearch |

Issue 1: Please support having multiple characters match a single
string in searches, so that e.g. "ss" can match the German letter "ß".
Issue 2: The current implementation of character folding based on
character decomposition often yields surprising results when searching:
e.g. the search string "f" matches not only "ff" but also "㎙" and "ffl",
but the search strings "m" and "fm" fail to match the former and the
search strings "l" and "fl" fail to match the latter. I think all
recognizable characters in a composite character should be matchable by
searching.
Issue 3: Character folding does not respect case-folding in searches,
e.g. "f" fails to match "ℱ" and "℻" (with case-folding enabled), whereas
"F" does match them, but fails to match "ff".

All these items are now implemented. Thanks for filing the issue, Stephen.
We can discuss whether we want to add any ad hoc rules. But I agree with Eli that I want to wait and see. This is a brand new feature, and I'd prefer that it's first iteration be just a solid foundation.
