I think I was talking to Cory or someone about case sensitivity (for filenames and directories) in filesystems. It seems obvious to me that the case sensitivity of the Unix filesystem is the right thing and a feature, but why is that? Is it possible that filesystems should merely preserve case?

I can think of a few reasons, but they seem inadequate to many users. Can anybody help me out?
