You should only use the 'E' in our examples, the '+' should only be
used for a closed folding.
anyway, I can't see an advantage for this 'E', so maybe you could give
an example and an rational for this.
A next point I don't understand is, is it right, that the folding
engine should also handle partial intersected folding regions?
