Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Well, the problem, as you point out, is that "\\?\" only works with absolute paths, but the stdlib currently works with both absolute and relative paths. The only reasonable solution right now is to prepend the "\\?\" prefix yourself (after having resolved the path to absolute).
