## *pathname-customary-case*

This variable determines what is the customary case when the `:case` keyword argument to various pathname functions (listed next) is specified `:common`. The Common Lisp pathname functions that accept a `:case` keyword argument are make-pathname, pathname-host, pathname-device, pathname-directory, pathname-name, and pathname-type. (In earlier releases, the `:case` keyword argument to those functions was simply ignored.)

The initial value of this variable is `:lower` on all platforms, even Windows. The other allowable value is `:upper`.

We do not recommend using the `:case` keyword argument to any of the named pathname functions. If you do not specify a value for the :case keyword argument in the listed functions, Allegro CL behavior is unchanged from previous versions.
