Yes, well the default os-x setup is not case sensitive, but if you  
refer to NFS or external volumes they could be.
Also os-x server is by default case sensitive, and you *could* reset  
an HFS+ volume to be case sensitive.
So I agree sending asLowercase to a file path should be viewed as  
suspect.
