     # Interesting findings about extended paths:
-    # - '\\?\c:\a', '//?/c:\a' and '//?/c:/a' are all supported
-    #   but '\\?\c:/a' is not
-    # - extended paths are always absolute; "relative" extended paths will
-    #   fail.
+    # * '\\?\c:\a' is an extended path, which bypasses normal Windows API
+    #   path processing. Thus relative paths are not resolved and slash is not
+    #   translated to backslash. It has the native NT path limit of 32767
+    #   characters, but a bit less after resolving device symbolic links,
+    #   such as '\??\C:' => '\Device\HarddiskVolume2'.
+    # * '\\?\c:/a' looks for a device named 'C:/a' because slash is a
+    #   regular name character in the object namespace.
+    # * '\\?\c:\foo/bar' is invalid because '/' is illegal in NT filesystems.
+    #   The only path separator at the filesystem level is backslash.
+    # * '//?/c:\a' and '//?/c:/a' are effectively equivalent to '\\.\c:\a' and
+    #   thus limited to MAX_PATH.
+    # * Prior to Windows 8, ANSI API bytes paths are limited to MAX_PATH,
+    #   even with the '\\?\' prefix.
