Well, I hadn't previously thought about the fact that the zpool create
command creates both a pool *and a filesystem*.  So the fact that
casesensitivity is a filesystem property meant to me that it couldn't be
used on the zpool command.  I wouldn't have been looking at the man page
to find the -O switch, because it's obvious from the structure that it
won't be there -- zpool manipulates pools, zfs manipulates filesystems.

So I'm not completely sure "non-intuitive" is how I'd describe it; but
it's off in a weird corner I hadn't even noticed existed.

So I've learned something; I wonder if I'll remember it long enough to do
any good?
