Subject: [9fans] What would be the side effects, if to change NAMELEN in lib.h etc

Hi Plan 9 lovers--

I suppose the maximum length of the filename in Plan 9 is limitted to 28
by the definition of two files of /sys/src/fs/port/portdat.h and /sys/src/
9/port/lib.h like as
#define NAMELEN 28.

If I change that definition, say to 36 etc, what would be the side effect
of this?
