The way I read it is that, if the target buffer isn't big enough, then the return value is the necessary size (in code units).  So I checked to see if it's bigger than MAX_PATH, since that's the capacity of the buffer.

In order to extend the buffer beyond MAX_PATH, we'd get into the realm of the `\\?\` prefix nonsense.  I assume there's lot of code in here that doesn't handle those, so if the expansion won't fit within MAX_PATH, I'm treating it as an error.

I believe GetLastError will return `ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY` or some other appropriate value in that case.  I'll check that now and add a comment.
