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

Not at all. Both pass off the C library calling `open()` on a file given by a char*. What is in the char* matters. R is a bystander playing by the OSs rules. And some OSs do better than others.
