If char-fold really only affects ASCII and Unicode lookalikes, is it
important enough to be worth mentioning in the echo area?  If not,
let's delete it from the echo area.

Does anyone really want to disable it?

On the other hand, lax whitespace search by default is a drastic
change.  That should be listed in the echo area, and its default
should be nil.
