Yes, this page is about library character-fold+.el,
not vanilla Emacs (e.g. library character-fold.el).

The first thing in the Commentary of character-fold+.el
says this:

;;  NOTE: This library is NOT UP-TO-DATE WRT EMACS 25.  The vanilla
;;        Emacs library `character-fold.el', which this library
;;        extends, was changed in incompatible ways after this library
;;        was written.  I have not yet had a chance to update this
;;        (and am waiting for Emacs 25 to be released to do so).
;;        Sorry about that.

(And clearly the parenthetical phrase is also not up to date.)

Dunno if/when I'll get a chance to revisit what this library did.  It would be 
great if vanilla Emacs offered symmetric character folding (as a choice).
