Research direction

Reproduce the default output layout on a case-sensitive OS and trace how the SDK creates bin/Debug and bin/Release. Confirm that the default folders become lowercase without breaking existing build or CLI behavior; the issue does not name a source file or test to start from.

HI everyone

Not sure if this is the right place to post this request but I wanted to ask for a change in the build folder setup for dotnet applications, I would like bin/Debug, bin/Release to be by default lower case. I know sounds lazy and all changing this would have no effect on a windows platform but would go be so cool not having to keep reminding yourself that the debug folder name is {caps}Debug and not debug.

Anyway

peace
