    Windows way is superior, in my opinion. I don’t think there’s a need for File.txt and fILE.txt

      It’s not so much about that need. It’s about it being programmatically correct. f and F are not the same ASCII or UTF-8 character, so why would a file system treat them the same?

      Having a direct char type to filename mapping, without unnecessary hocus pocus in between, is the simple and elegant solution.

        It turns out that the easiest thing to program isn’t always the best application design.
