Sorry to bring up ancient history, but I was told this is the bug to do it at.
Please see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Several_changes_to_file_naming
- a proposal I put forth (not knowing about this) to fix certain consistent
issues with file naming. Most reliant there are points #2 and #3, as I have
been told that the first one is impossible. As it stands, the three points are:

1.  Case sensitivity in image names: As it stands, three separate users could
upload three separate images of three separate subjects called
File:TestImage.jpg, File:TeStImAgE.jpg, and File:Testimage.jpg. There is no
reason why file names should be case sensitive.

2.  Multiple filetype extensions for the same filetype: As it stands, two
separate users could upload two separate images of two separate subjects as
File:TestImage.jpg and File:TestImage.jpeg. There is no reason for this.

3.  Case sensitivity in filetype extensions: As it stands, and as I have seen
at least twice recently, two separate images can be uploaded as
File:TestImage.jpg and File:TestImage.JPG. This has the potential to cause even
more problems that the above situations. There is no reason why filetype
extensions should be case sensitive.

If we can handle #2 and #3 that would be wonderful.
