Well, this is only related to .NET (which hasn't supported long paths w/o third-party libraries earlier).
This seems to be related to native applications too, but TC already supports long paths via mentioned prefix \\?\ so there is nothing that may be improved. But most plugins do not support long paths and may have e.g. fixed-size buffers so it is a bad idea to pass such paths to them.
