This would mean, a program behaves incorrectly just because some file name
is particularly long. We don't do such things in GNU. The GNU Coding Standards
[1] are clear about it:

  "Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of any data structure,
   including file names, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data
   structures dynamically."
