[ Private mail ] I know. I even happen to have a first-hand opinion about both "foreign" pathnames and casing in filenames on Windows, back in the years 1993-94.
However, I fail to see your point. I was answering the question about commonality of this feature. The fact a feature is available for years do not mean it is widely used. Or should we assume it that despite what we can observe around us?
