Only if you use string comparison for comparing file names.  File
names are not strings for the purpose of equality, as Juanma pointed
out, and programmers should be educated to think that way.  Just
change your abstraction, and you are done.  For example, there's a
different function, even in the string class, for ``identical but for
case'' comparison.
