+tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insesitive lookups support:
+
+=========   ==============================================================
+casefold    Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
+            argument as enconding. Currently only utf8 encondings are supported.
                            encoding.                      encodings
quoted
+cf_strict   Enable strict casefolding at this mouting point (disabled by
                                                  mount
quoted
+            default). This means that invalid strings should be reject by the
                                                                    rejected
quoted
+            file system.
+=========   ==============================================================
+
+Note that this option doesn't enable casefold by default, one needs to set
                                                     default; one needs to set the
quoted
+casefold flag per directory, setting the +F attribute in an empty directory. New
+directories within a casefolded one will inherit the flag.
Thanks for the feedback Randy, all changes applied.
