I think that 'there is a folder' is a query to the operating system,
thus not explicitly a Rev-controlled function. If the operating
system sees "folderX" and "folderx" as the same, then 'there is a
folder' will return true.
My solution would be to get a list, then use "is among the lines", or
"lineoffset" with caseSensitive as true.
