I see. The intention of vim_FullName() is that the result is a file
name that can be compared. Since we don't want it to return 8.3 names,
it should expand 8.3 names into their long name. That avoids editing a
file once by its short name and once by its long name ends up with two
buffers for the wrong file, we don't want that.
There could be a separate function to short filenames to their 8.3 form,
although it's for a very limited audience and only works on some file
systems. Thus I would not encourage using that.
