I sense a strong enmity between the perfect and the good here.
"Dumb" (unicode-equivalence-based) character folding is a
a godsend for searching through texts when using the "wrong"
keyboard layout, for whatever reason. It also matches expectations
from using search engines, etc.. And exact matching can handle the
need for precision. Using default=exact with an easy global option
for switching to unicode-folding will be a great step forward.
