 * Enumeration of IO case sensitivity.

 * Different filing systems have different rules for case-sensitivity.

 * control how filename comparisons should be performed. It also provides
 * methods that use the enumeration to perform comparisons.

 * Wherever possible, you should use the <code>check</code> methods in this
