Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

"Of course, Mac OS X is both Unix and case-insensitive"

Not so. Case-{in|}sensitivity is an attribute of HFS+ file systems that is 
specifiable when a file system is created; it's true that the default is 
still case-insensitive. There are also other case-sensitive file systems 
supported on OS X.
