I've also seen .cpp for this, though that might be more common on windows-based tools (I know it's not just M$). > Even so, case-sensitive filesystems have one thing that > case-insensitive filesystems lack: virtually automatic > support for UTF-8-encoded names with an absolute minimum of > code to do it.

That's a really good argument for case-sensitive file systems, and is the first one I've seen. That's not to say there aren't others, but that's the first one I've seen specifically described.
