I imagine that his argument will be something along the lines of "it's 
fascism for my system not to be able to differentiate between Green the 
surname and green the colour." I actually agree that if I name a file 
green.odt, it should be obvious that it is the text I wrote about how 
much I love the colour and not the text I wrote about the Green family. 
However, most people are not that bright and would prefer case 
insensitivity because they would prefer to name a document 
greencolour.odt or greenfamily.odt.
