Whether char-folding is on or off (and how to indicate that) is
orthogonal to which char-folding table the user uses.
That is, unless you or someone else plans on implementing the
possibility of combining tables and toggling them individually (which
we don't support yet).

Ahn... do you realise that you replied twice to the same email?

So you don't want to implement a simple visual indicator, because this
indicator might become harder to implement in the future when we
*might* have multiple tables that can be independently applied? (which
no one has offered to do yet, btw)

Well, if we ever even reach that situation:
- If no char-folding tables are in use, the indicator will be off.
- If more than zero char-folding tables are in use, the indicator will be on.
I wouldn't call it brilliant (and please let's not go off on a tangent
discussing the (de)merits of this idea), I'm just saying we don't need
to block this feature now because of the future possibility of
multiple independent char-folding tables.
