Thank you, Bryan, for your quick response and act. It would inded be nice to
see a warning when a similarly named file already exists.

However, this does not solve the problem completely, because it means that the
Upload Wizard will go on stating that "file names differing only in extension
case are possible", while the tools that might be used subsequently (file
renaming) state "file name extensions must be normalized as if they were
case-insensitive". This means that confusion will persist, unless a consensus
on this is found across Commons. Perhaps we should invite more people into this
discussion?

The easiest solution is, obviously, to equip the Upload Wizard with the same
"sanitization" mechanism which is already used by the file mover, but I
understand that this is not something what you are willing to do at the moment,
am I right?
