Indeed. :-) Personally, I don't mind case-insensitive, case-preserving
filesystems like HFS+ and NTFS. IMHO, people should not create file
names differing only in captialisation - it's just asking for confusion
and bugs. I personally never do, so case-sensitivity in the filesystem
is a complete non-issue for me.
