How regrettable would be to disable such a useful feature.  I'm using
char-folding every day a dozen times on multiple languages/scripts in
Chromium, and it's a major inconvenience not to be able to use the same
in Emacs.  Let's not hide/postpone this feature due to an inability to
reach a consensus on the default values - we could use the same defaults
as in Chromium.  These are sane defaults based on Unicode standards and
used by millions users.  I haven't noticed any annoying matching by the
default rules despite not being able to change hard-coded rules or disable
char-folding.  Unlike Chromium, Emacs is more extensible and customizable,
thus we urgently need to provide customization, so everyone could easily
add/remove char-folding rules to/from the default set.
