I dug into this once, and as far as I could tell, it's possible to get the information on Windows, but there's no way on Linux to "ask the filesystem".
Maybe we could use a heuristic such as:
Search the directory for an exact match to the name given, return it if found.
Look for a match ignoring case. If one is found, test it to see if it refers to the same file as the given path, and if so return it.
Otherwise, raise an exception.
