Actually, dang!  I spoke too soon.  While links now work consistently
before and after exports, their description matches the destination
heading, not the source link.  But if we case-fold now, it would make a
lot more sense to match the case of the source link, as it enables one
to link [[capitalized heading]]s.  Otherwise, we case-fold with no
significant benefits, as far as I can see.

Without also fixing this part, my problem with Org remains. :(

I have noticed that 'org-use-extra-keys', for example, is documented as
"must set it before loading Org", but there is nothing similar in the
'org-link-descriptive' docstring.  So perhaps this is a bug, not a
feature?

Upon a quick look, 'org-toggle-link-display' does exactly two things:

  1. (setq org-link-descriptive (not org-link-descriptive)) and
  2. (org-link-descriptive-ensure),

where 'org-link-descriptive-ensure' wraps exactly one expression:

  (org-fold-core-set-folding-spec-property
     (car org-link--link-folding-spec)
     :visible (not org-link-descriptive))

Could Org execute this expression after loading a document, given the
buffer-local value of 'org-link-descriptive' necessitates it?
