So, if I'm using my laptop on which I use a US-international layout I
will get no folding for any character in Latin-1, if I use a nearby
machine with an Italian keyboard layout I get a different behavior, if
I use another machine with a US layout I get another different
behavior.  That will be the time that I revert to Emacs 19.

FWIW, my preference would be for a different function altogether,
disjoint from the non-folding version.
