case sensitivity and filenames

[Lester Ingber]

I keep seeing postings from experienced Cygwin developers that it is a
nightmare to consider adding full case sensitivity to Cygwin.

I also have Interix on my system, a (failed?) Microsoft attempt
to introduce a gnu-based unix shell.  Albeit is has limited tools,
in fact it looks to me that it *does* respect true case sensitivity.
For example, I have untarred directories that contain files/directories
differing only by the case of the names, etc.

If so, then why can't Interix provide a template for this feature?
