Yeah, this isn't going to happen.  Years ago we looked into what it would
take to be able to flip a switch and have the standard-compliant behavior
(fold to upper not lower).  It was impractical then and no doubt is far
more so now.  I do not remember all the details, but there were multiple
pain points even in terms of server-side implementation, never mind all
the applications we'd break.

What the OP is asking for doesn't even have the argument "but it's
standards compliant!" going for it.  So I doubt we'd accept such a patch
even if someone managed to create one.
