Comment (by carljm):
I would be interested in the results of further investigation by un3kk. If
it really is possible for django-debug-toolbar to trigger this problem,
that would be a serious issue.
On the whole, I am tempted to make the change suggested by gldnspud. I
agree that the "case-insensitive filesystem accessed by Python from case-
sensitive OS" case is not exactly common, but it would be an easy issue to
avoid entirely with a relatively simple change. Relying on case-
sensitivity for correct operation seems like something it doesn't hurt to
avoid. I'm not too concerned about the backwards incompatibility, given
that `django.utils.htmlparser` was added to trunk less than a month ago,
has never been in a production release, and is undocumented and used only
by a test helper.
Tentatively accepting, but open to arguments that it would be a bad idea
to make this change.
