Maybe only for searching purposes we could find all cases
where upper- and lower-case letters differ significantly and
add them to char-fold-include by default.

Here is the test case that demonstrates the need to add it
to char-fold-include:
0. emacs -Q
1. Paste this text to *scratch*: "ΐΐ"
2. Search for two IOTAs with char-fold, e.g.: C-s M-s ' ιι
The char-fold search doesn't match the characters with combining accents
with their base char GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA.
However, after adding (?ι "ΐ") to char-fold-include it can match the
base character IOTA.
