``unfold turns a character, say ë into the set of
characters that can be folded to the same base
character.  so
       ; unfold ë
       [eèéêëēĕėęěȅȇȩḕḗḙḛḝẹẻẽếềểễệ]''

To me, that sounds like [e-f] should be

[eèéêëēĕėęěȅȇȩḕḗḙḛḝẹẻẽếềểễệfƒ]

iff e unfolds to the same set as ë. If e only unfolds to [e], then
[e-f] would unfold to [ef].

Does that sound sane?
