Cool!  Then Scheme would be like Berkeley Logo in this respect.  :-)

Seriously, is this why I'm finding John's answer to my question about
lexicographic sorting/"normalization" so confusing?  Is it the FOLDING
part of case folding that's the problem?  Could we Unicode-normalize
symbols just for the purpose of testing their EQness, but not fold them?
I would like that /even better/ than case folding!
