Sorry for hijacking this discussion.
Why are system names case sensitive at all? Wouldn't it be more sane to just make them case-insensitive?
It is more complicated to perform case-insensitive file search on a case-sensitive filesystem, of course.
System names are downcased. They are not case-sensitive (not compatible with logical pathnames and other limited filesystems).
The issue here is that a number of internal functions are returning partially downcased directory pathnames, causing mismatches in our tests.
