Windows 10 long path support

Reported by "stax76" on "2020-09-05T16:16:04.237086+00:00"

I would like to request long path support in Windows 10. Currently, long paths don't work with long path prefix `\\?\` but only using 8.3 names. I would like to request native long path support that don't need a prefix or short name.
