Btw, don't get me started about case-sensitive file systems - Windows got it right (case-preserving, but case-insensitive). Why should both /home/ellen/Music and /home/ellen/music exist? :)

Because once you go there, you have to answer questions which are not as easy. Does M match m? Does i match ı? Does a match あ? Does あ match ア? Does m match 𝓂? What happens when they need to coexist?

But they're different! I see where you're coming from though (unfortunately I know all these examples too well..).
