Given the number of files (about 650k in Commons now) and their wild and crazy filenames this might not be totally feasible, but we can hope.
Speaking of wild and crazy filenames, would it be possible to force some basic naming scheme on incoming files, such as at least making the extensions lower case?
It's quite a sensible idea, but we'd need to watch for collisions with existing files where the lowercase extension version pre-exists. The current collision handling would be fine.
There's an open bug which requests, among other things, to have file extensions be insignificant with respect to using the images in pages.
