That’s a bold claim. Open source developer here (on the fish team): given a user-entered path, how do you make it canonical?

Specifically, without recursively opening directories and listing contents, how can you convert /foo/baR to the correct case as it appears in the filesystem index? Without following any symlinks, should any of the path components be a symlink?
