One more thing:

There is the argument that the expected behavior of Phobos 
functions creating filesystems objects with long paths is to 
succeed and create those files. However, this results in 
filesystem objects that most software will fail to access 
(everyone needs to also use the long paths workaround).

One point of view is that the expected behavior is that the 
functions succeed. Another point of view is that Phobos should 
not allow programs to create files and directories with invalid 
paths. Consider, e.g. that a user writes a program that creates a 
large tree of deeply nested filesystem objects. When they are 
done and wish to delete them, their file manager fails and 
displays an error. The user's conclusion? D sucks because it 
corrupts the filesystem and creates objects they can't operate 
with.
