+It is worth noting that Microsoft has basically declared their
+"recommended" case folding (upcase) table to be permanently frozen (for
+new filesystem instances in the case where they use an on-disk
+translation table created at format time.)  As far as I know they have
+never supported anything other than 1:1 conversion of BMP code points,
+nor normalization.

+although in a somewhat annoying format (basically a hex dump of
+compressed data):
