You might as well ask what is the purpose of having a filesystem retain the
case of filenames, but then ignore the case when looking them up, which is
what NT appears to do. Ever had two files in an NT filesystem with names
differing only in case? There are circumstances under which this can happen.
That's one good reason to assume that the user's case differences are
intended to be significant!
