I cannot be the only person who has a need to run tests conditionally based on whether the file system is case-sensitive or not, so I feel like I am re-inventing the wheel for issue 5442 to handle OS X with a case-sensitive filesystem. Is there a boolean somewhere that I can simply check or get to know whether the filesystem is case-sensitive?
Since one may have more than one filesystem side-by-side, this can't be just be a system-wide boolean somewhere. One would have to query the target directory for this information. I am not aware of the existence of code that does such a query, though. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
