That's a funny way to say I can turn off case sensitivity in Bash on
Macs. And while that works, mostly, if and when I'm using bash (/bin/ksh
is my shell), it's a bandaid becauase that's just the interactive shell,
not all tools. Commands cut-n-pasted from the command line might not
work in shell scripts or Makefiles.

(I can't use the built-in filename precedence of make to have 'makefile'
override 'Makefile' either.)

And the Mac /bin/bash warns you not to use it: "The default interactive
shell is now zsh." And then instructions on using chsh and link to a
 webpage saying the same thing in more words.
