My thinking was that if `equalsIgnoreCase == false` then the file keys cannot be equal so there is no point checking them. If however `equalsIgnoreCase == true`, then the keys might or might not be equal and need to be checked. So the question is, if `equalsIgnoreCase == false` can the keys be equal?
