a nice example is the ls-r file LS-r or ls-R or whatever; since i use the 
same tree for more than one platform, i always have to launch linux to get 
one that is acceptable for all platforms; it would be nice if that one 
would become lowercase (in samba i manage to get two mixed case files at 
once).

with regards to spaces, this indeed needs to be sorted out (double quotes 
vs single quotes for passing such names and so)
