The text is OK, but I think a better place is in the node "Truenames",
as that's where we document file-equal-p.  To put your description in
a proper context, perhaps precede it with a sentence such as
"Sometimes file names or their parts need to be compared as strings,
in which case it's important to know whether the underlying filesystem
is case-insensitive."

> Thanks for the review.  Revised patch attached.

LGTM, thanks.
