+        # Given that this limit is only important for SafeHardLinks FUSE, and

+        # If it does turn out to be an obstacle, beware that the Windows API
+        # `_setmaxstdio` for increasing the open file limit only applies to the
+        # 'stream I/O level', i.e. `fopen()` and friends. CPython opens files
+        # using `_wopen()`, which is at the 'low I/O level'.
