By the way, given that the last Debian Unstable upgrade gave me Linux
5.2, I went through the release notes for that, and found this new
“Optional support for case-insensitive names in ext4” feature
<https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.2#Optional_support_for_case-insensitive_names_in_ext4>.

Linus has (understandably) expressed great skepticism about the need
for this feature in native Linux filesystems. It has been very messy
and troublesome to support on other platforms
