Comment (by garethr):

 Would it be possible to opt in to long filenames by default on Windows 10?
 Is there any part of ghc or a library that assumes paths have a maximum of
 260 characters?

 The relevant Microsoft documentation is here:
 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 gb/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath

  Tip  Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, MAX_PATH limitations have been
 removed from common Win32 file and directory functions.
  However, you must opt-in to the new behavior.
