Clint,

Well, I'm open to suggestions and will go along with a majority vote on 
whether to use f/F or u/U.

It would be nice to have case and status parallel one another, i.e. have 
upper case mean the option is disabled and lower case mean it's enabled.

It would be nice to have either the historical defaults correspond to all 
upper case or all lower case.

Enabling upper case and disabling case folding mean the same thing, though 
their enable/disable states are the opposite of one another.

As I said, feel free to suggest and vote.
