Absolutely. I've also talked to a few Samba folks at SDC, and one
thing they would love to see is conditional case insensitive lookups,
e.g.:
- we hash case insensitive with collisions, but perform normal case
sensitive lookups.
- with a new AT_CASE_INSENSTIVE flag to the various *at calls that
gets passed down to the dcache we enable CI lookups.
