Comment:
I've just starting to work on issues related to the extended-length paths
on Windows. The fixes will only be for filesystem V3; they won't be ported
back to V2.
I've added warnings to the V3 documentation.
Because create_directories() decomposes paths into relative components, it
isn't likely to be changed to work with extended-length paths anytime
soon. At least on V3, create_directory() does work OK with extended-length
paths, so it can be used as a workaround.
Thanks,
