Again, we shouldn't use the term "case-insensitive filesystem" (or casefolded
filesystem) when we actually mean "case-insensitive capable filesystem", or more
precisely "filesystem that supports case-insensitive directories".  Real
case-insensitive filesystems like FAT are not relevant here.

This is outdated.
