Actually I take that back. I've been testing (and thinking) the
character folding feature more and it's very unlikely that users will
face problems with it in the Finnish language. It doesn't bother me if
the feature is on by default.

A global switch (a dynamic variable) would be a good thing and I think
it should override any locale or language based magic, if such magic is
even necessary.
