 It means that approximately half of the world knows the difference between
 lower case and upper case letters and knows how to use this means and
 might also know that this development of the last 2,000 years is sensible.

 which only increases your changes of running into things others do not
 see. I might well agree with you, case sensitive filesystems make more
 sense, but they aren't and never have been, standard in OSX and using them
 has been known to cause issues in the past. Your choice in the end.

 I am using an optional feature of HFS (not OSX or macOS), If this usage
 makes problems than obviously the software having them is not made for the
 real world of Macs in use but for some programmer's PC. Where it should
 have stayed better.
