// I measured these limits on the size of a single ReadConsoleOutputW call.
// The limit seems to more-or-less disppear with Windows 8, which is the first
// OS to stop using ALPCs for console I/O. My guess is that the new I/O
// method does not use the 64KiB shared memory buffer that the ALPC method
// uses.
//
// I'm guessing the remaining difference between Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10
// might be related to the 32-vs-64-bitness.
//
// Client OSs
//
// Windows XP 32-bit VM ==> up to 13304 characters
// - 13304x1 works, but 13305x1 fails instantly
// Windows 7 32-bit VM ==> between 16-17 thousand characters
// - 16000x1 works, 17000x1 fails instantly
// - 163x100 *crashes* conhost.exe but leaves VeryLargeRead.exe running
// Windows 8 32-bit VM ==> between 240-250 million characters
// - 10000x24000 works, but 10000x25000 does not
// Windows 8.1 32-bit VM ==> between 240-250 million characters
// - 10000x24000 works, but 10000x25000 does not
// Windows 10 64-bit VM ==> no limit (tested to 576 million characters)
// - 24000x24000 works
// - `ver` reports [Version 10.0.10240], conhost.exe and ConhostV1.dll are
// 10.0.10240.16384 for file and product version. ConhostV2.dll is
// 10.0.10240.16391 for file and product version.
//
// Server OSs
//
// Windows Server 2008 64-bit VM ==> 14300-14400 characters
// - 14300x1 works, 14400x1 fails instantly
// - This OS does not have conhost.exe.
// - `ver` reports [Version 6.0.6002]
// Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit VM ==> 15600-15700 characters
// - 15600x1 works, 15700x1 fails instantly
// - This OS has conhost.exe, and procexp.exe reveals console ALPC ports in
// use in conhost.exe.
// - `ver` reports [Version 6.1.7601], conhost.exe is 6.1.7601.23153 for file
// and product version.
// Windows Server 2012 64-bit VM ==> at least 100 million characters
// - 10000x10000 works (VM had only 1GiB of RAM, so I skipped larger tests)
// - This OS has Windows 8's task manager and procexp.exe reveals the same
// lack of ALPC ports and the same \Device\ConDrv\* files as Windows 8.
// - `ver` reports [Version 6.2.9200], conhost.exe is 6.2.9200.16579 for file
// and product version.
//
// To summarize:
//
// client-OS server-OS notes
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// XP Server 2008 CSRSS, small reads
// 7 Server 2008 R2 ALPC-to-conhost, small reads
// 8, 8.1 Server 2012 new I/O interface, large reads allowed
// 10 <no server OS yet> enhanced console w/rewrapping
//
// (Presumably, Win2K, Vista, and Win2K3 behave the same as XP. conhost.exe
// was announced as a Win7 feature.)
