What filesystem can cope with a file and a folder havnig the same name?

guest at guest-laptop:~/test$ touch test
guest at guest-laptop:~/test$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory `test': File exists
guest at guest-laptop:~/test$
maybe a file has capitalization and a directory doesn't or vis versa?
