Bit off-topic, but is Haiku (bfs) always going to be case-insensitive? From a human perspective I think case insensitivity can be annoying - I know there's a file I want in the files/development/ folder, but can't remember if it's files/Development or Files/development or whatever. It often takes me a few guesses to get the path right due to capitalisation issues.

Does bfs support UTF8 filenames? In that case, I suppose the whole concept of case is a bit difficult to define.
