strict mode refers to the encoding, not exactly casefold.  Maybe we
could have a parameter encoding_flags that accepts the flag 'strict'.
This would make it closer to the ext4 interface.  Alternatively, call
this option strict_encoding.

What are the other enconding flags? Or is this more about having a 
properly extensible interface?
