I really meant 255 characters not 256 because I was leaving three for "<drive name>:/". I suppose the most reasonable behavior is to strip out the "\\?\" before attempting the conversion as the path is sensible and parsable without that, as opposed to the current behavior which is to  crash. The practical benefit is to permit the function to work on a wider range of inputs than currently is possible for essentially no cost.
