> Unlike Windows, MacOS allows you to format your disk as HFS+ case sensitive.

Actually, Windows has an equivalent option as well, except that it
isn't done via formatting, but rather via a special flag passed to the
API that opens files.  So if we want Emacs on Windows to become
case-sensitive (personally, I don't think this is a good idea for a
number of gory technical reasons), we can do that.
