Probably most useful is to provide access to fs locale and case sensitivety mode and leave rest for now.
That was my original suggestion - unfortunately I only know how to do this for Windows, and my research seems to indicate that it might not even be possible on Linux. If someone can give me some pointers on how to check case sensitivity for a filesystem on Linux/Unix/POSIX and MacOS, I'm willing to try to create a suitable patch for the stdlib. I don't consider writing a file then reading it back as a way of doing this, as there may be permission issues, and it'll trigger filesystem notification hooks, etc, so it's not really suitable as a stdlib solution (although obviously it's a fine solution for an application to use if the application design makes it appropriate...)
