That part is erroneous :)
Recent additions to msdn are too often incompetent, e.g. long 
path registry switch in windows 10 doesn't enable the feature, 
it's only the first of two gates, manifest is not optional. Don't 
ask me who does it. They can't even get backslashes right.
Passing unparsed path to GetFullPathName makes no sense because 
such unparsed path must be already full normalized path, and it 
doesn't have MAX_PATH limit, probably because it doesn't talk to 
file system.

I wonder about that too, shouldn't the system do the same to 
resolve the absolute path? Theoretically it can keep an open 
handle to the current directory and get its path from that.
