I've never understood this fascination *nix users, and programmers, have
with case sensitivity. What semantic difference is there between a
directory named "Finances" and one named "finances", or a file named
"MyLatestPoem" and one named "mylatestpoem"? None, they both mean the same
thing to the user of the computer or program. Why then is there a
difference in the operating system? Is it simply because a programmer
somewhere decided there should be? Because it saves a CPU cycle by not
having to flip one bit on or off (well, for ASCII and EBCDIC anyway)? Or is
there a deeper, more sensible reason?
