Re: [charmod-norm] Provide descriptions of Unicode case folding

Agreed, although that makes me wonder how IDNA will handle the addition of lowercase to the Cherokee script.

For whatever it's worth, that very difficulty is what led to IDNA2008
treating upper case as DISALLOWED.  It caused too many problems, and
there are locale-based differences for some characters (consider the
case of i and I, and then consider it in Turkic).
