Makes me wonder if whoever implemented the CANONICALIZE slot had Unicode
folding in mind.

I think you're still conflating case conversion and case folding. As I

title. And the fact that these three overlap is already a problem for
case-preserving replace. I spent most of my last email trying to
explain this.
