You're right... I was confusing myself because of the
behaviour of Windows Explorer, where it will magically
change the appearance of filenames that are ALLCAPS
depending on the setting of some flag.  It's not really
changing the name, just how it's displayed, and it's
not a filesystem thing anyway, as you say.
