        How difficult -- would it just be changing a flag
in the super, in the simple case -- i.e. with the result that
a user could lose access to any files of alternate cases?

        I know it's not what's there now, but there is a nice search
option in 'Gvim', 'smartcase', where if you use a lower case
search string, it finds strings of either case, but if you explicitly
have any letter capitalized, then it forces a case sensitive search.

        That could be a recovery mechanism for conflicts, but would
likely involve more work...
