doc: `require` behavior on case-insensitive systems
This adds a paragraph in the Module Caching Caveats section about the behavior of require when Node is running on top of a file system (e.g. HFS) or operating system (e.g. Windows) that will not consider the case of file paths to find files.

@ -212,6 +212,12 @@ module (loading from `node_modules` folders), it is not a *guarantee*
|

that `require('foo')` will always return the exact same object, if it
|
||||
would resolve to different files.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, on case-insensitive file systems or operating systems, different
|
||||
resolved filenames can point to the same file, but the cache will still treat
|
||||
them as different modules and will reload the file multiple times. For example,
|
||||
`require('./foo')` and `require('./FOO')` return two different objects,
|
||||
irrespective of whether or not `./foo` and `./FOO` are the same file.
