+tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insesitive lookups support:

+=========   ==============================================================
+casefold    Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
+            argument as enconding. Currently only utf8 encondings are supported.

                            encoding.                      encodings

+cf_strict   Enable strict casefolding at this mouting point (disabled by

+            file system.
+=========   ==============================================================

+Note that this option doesn't enable casefold by default, one needs to set

                                                     default; one needs to set the

+casefold flag per directory, setting the +F attribute in an empty directory. New
+directories within a casefolded one will inherit the flag.



Thanks for the feedback Randy, all changes applied.
