Spot on, especially as the "default" of case perserving and case 
sensitive will likely cover anything where an FS-specific solution can't 
be found - I'd hazard a guess that the reason the FS-sepcific solution 
can't be found in some cases is because for case preserving and case 
sensitive situations, there really is no need for such an api ;-)
