This natural language issue is a very good argument for case-sensitive file systems, or rather, file systems that simply accept (almost) arbitrary strings as names, and do not try to find equivalences between them other than comparing the bytes. I hope adding case-insensitivity support to Linux does not result in people actually starting to use it for anything else than handling legacy compatibility.
