Sorry to possibly bursting your bubble but what you observe is a side-effect of being on an operating system that threats filenames as case-insensitive. Hello macOS. "Real" operating systems do not do that. What your tweet celebrates as is more of a bug than a feature. #rstats

It's been years since I had the "pleasure" of working on Windows; I had thought case-sensitve behavior was the default. I could be wrong. Please do be careful about this. It is one *very* easy way to create non-portable code or scripts. Case matters for reproducibility. #rstats
