These are valid points, but they apply to Linux and Windows as well: nothing 
prevents you from mounting a case-insensitive FS on Linux or a case-sensitive 
network share on Windows. However, in most cases the file system is going to be 
case-sensitive on Linux and case-insensitive on Windows.

It is true, that HFS supports optional case-sensitivity, but by default it is 
not being used, and 99% of Mac users out there are on case-insensitive FS.

Of course, it would be nice to dynamically check case sensitivity for every 
path, but that should be done for all platforms and is kind of out of scope of 
the problem that I tried to solve here. Plus, it might affect the performance.
