:const:`True` or :const:`False`. If the operating system is case-insensitive,
then both parameters will be normalized to all lower- or upper-case before
the comparison is performed. :func:`fnmatchcase` can be used to perform a

using :func:`os.path.normcase`. :func:`fnmatchcase` can be used to perform a

operating system.
