30+ years in IT and the test posted earlier in this thread. I'm just 
typing this in from memory as I'm not in my office.

cd /usr/include
mkdir aa
mkdir a.a
cd aa
copy  /usr/include/libusb...whatever/libusb.h .
cd ../a.a
copy  /usr/include/libusb...whatever/libusb.h .

No go into your QtCreator and in a .cpp file start typing

#include <a

What shows up? aa but not a.a
Go ahead and hit enter, what shows up? libusb.h (or whatever you named 
the .h file.

/usr/include is walked and in this case the walker has a shattered 
knee-cap. It cannot walk any directory with a "." in the name.

Need further proof?

Install PostgreSQL client and dev on your system. When you open a .cpp 
in QtCreator and type
#include <post
what comes up?
