When using the nocase option, this library will attempt to detect the filepath with the following methods:
1. Try to read all files in the filepath using fs.readdirSync. If successful and filepath is a directory, return the filepath.filepath
2. Try to read all files in the 's directory using fs.readdirSync. If successful, do case insensitive comparasions of the filepath to the files in filepath's directory.
