If the names are the same, ie, produced with the same sequence of keystrokes in the save-as box and importing box, then there is no translation, at least from the user's view.
module name into a file name (so the file can be imported) is a good idea and whether these sorts of files can be safely transferred among diverse filesystems.
I believe we now have the situation that a package that works on *nix could fail on Windows, whereas I believe that patch would *improve* portability.
For similar reasons we tend to avoid capital letters in module names.
That is a stdlib style guide followed by many, but intentionally not enforced.
