You can already do this inside applications that support it, however the finder will not display them correctly. Even if you were to patch all of the file-handling routines that work with FSSpec's (the standard way that older mac programs specified files), you would crash pretty much every program out there, as you overwrote memory (programs expecting shorter names wouldn't allocate enough memory to hold the longer ones.
