I suspect they would be used to the false case-insensitive match. I
tested it on Windows XP with NTFS: İ (U+0130) did not match I or i
or ı (U+0131). I also tested it with the Turkish language/keyboard set.

Once it's set in a filesystem, the handling of it can't really be
swapped back and forth either, otherwise, you may lose access to
that file.

There is no practical way that I can see of supporting this
fully, even with using the NLS tables. The on-disk hashes have
to remain consistent regardless of what language is specified.
