[kwlug-disc] cd case insensitive? (NOT autocompletion)

[unsolicited]

Fair enough. I am making the assumption no duplicates are present. And 
I'm making the assumption that I'll remember to not create duplicates.

md should at least throw a hissy fit at an attempt to create such. rd 
gets interesting though.

This is somewhat of a self-correcting problem I expect - it doesn't take 
long for one to get miffed at a missing file, and have a D'OH moment of 
looking for a different case form.

(Been there, done that.)
