Description: DOSFS and CDFS allow filenames in capital letters only, which doesn't make for readability. This cunning module sits on the vector used by the Filer to read filenames and does on-the-fly translation of the case of filenames containing no lower-case letters. And as a bonus, it also tells the Filer that directories have timestamps at the beginning or end of time, and this means they all get listed first or last under "Sort by date".
