Please support folding of quote characters. In a UTF-8 locale, man uses
curly quote characters, which is nice to read, but hard to search. For
example, I can't easily find "don't".

I suggest a generalisation of --ignore-case: a new option like
--fold-equivalent that implies --ignore-case and also allows other
character equivalence classes to be equated. I presume Unicode defines
such classes, but I don't know; otherwise, some simple ones could be
defined, like {tick|right curly single quote}, {backtick|left curly
single quote}, {double straight quote|double left quote, double right
quote} (before the | I list characters that are ambiguous (treated like
lower case letters) and after unambiguous (like upper case letters). The
option would work like --ignore-case: if the user specifies an
unambiguous character from a group, then characters are matched exactly.

If this features sounds worthwhile, I'd be happy to look into preparing
a patch, and if I should be discussing this with upstream instead,
please feel free to point me upstream.
