Ultimately what I need to able to do is compare a bookmark to a path. I
would like to do this using NSArray's indexOfObject with a path derived from
the bookmark, but because the bookmark's path is not updated when only the
case changes, this sort of comparison will not work.
Basically I would like a method like:
[bookmarkData isEqualToPath:path]
