	// will work; empirically the path must be less then 248 bytes long.
	if len(path) < 248 {
		// Don't fix. (This is how Go 1.7 and earlier worked,
		// not automatically generating the \\?\ form)

	// The extended form begins with \\?\, as in
	// \\?\c:\windows\foo.txt or \\?\UNC\server\share\foo.txt.
