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.
