I have been known to nitpick, but making a distinction between operating
system and file system is far from that.

You've already got a problem right there, since it's not really up to
Java to decide whether it's dealing with a case-sensitive file system or
not. It shouldn't care.

And you've got a problem there too: the name provided by the user is a
_Java_ name, and the language _is_ case-sensitive. It's an
implementation error for Java to behave in a case-insensitive way.
