+IMPORTANT: The Rust test programs in this directory generate various output
+files in the `../coverage*` directories (`expected` and `actual` files).
+
+Microsoft Windows has a relatively short limit on file paths (not individual
+path components, but the entire path). The files generated by these
+`../coverage*` tests typically have file paths that include the program
+source file name plus function and type names (depending on the program).
+
+Keep the test file names short, and keep function names and other symbols
+short as well, to avoid hitting the Windows limits.
