Description
Windows 10 allows you to opt-out of the `MAX_PATH` limit for file operations, but Sys.cpp makes use of `MAX_PATH` for stack allocated path buffers. It would be nice to be able to support these long Windows paths.

Research direction
Start by reading Sys.cpp and locating the stack-allocated path buffers that use MAX_PATH. Trace the Windows file-operation paths and verify that operations succeed with paths longer than MAX_PATH on Windows 10.
