Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: Yes, as shipped from the factory, the default "root" file system is still case-insensitive but the user can change that. There there are file systems on attached disk images and NFS-mounted file systems, etc etc. More to the point, it's not a system attribute, rather it's a file-system attribute and, since a file system mount point can be almost anywhere in a directory structure, in general, you can't predict where you're going to encounter insensitive vs -sensitive behavior; it could vary from directory to directory. But isn't dealing with case- insensitive behavior just a special case of the general case of what extract/extractall do about overwriting existing files? I don't see that addressed in the current docs.
