Why would you care to cover all of that?

Your very numbers show that 128 bytes covers 97+% of all cases (and
160 bytes is at 99.8%)

The other cases need to be *correct*, of course, but not necessarily
optimized for.

If we can do 97% of all filenames with a simple on-stack allocation,
that would be a huge win.

(In fact, 64 bytes covers 90% of the cases according to your numbers).
