Color Filters: How to filter for path length > 255

Is there anyway currently to set up a color filter for files with a path length > 255 ?
I tried the following, all without success:
If there is no way to do this presently, is there any technical reason that is prohibiting its implementation? I'd love to have it.

len: is not (yet) supported by CF.

Ok, I look forward to the day. Dealing with newly created super-long paths is daily bread and butter for me. I have the Len column showing in all folder views. But it seemed to me that there might be a performance improvement or even just less cpu expenditure if I instead had a global color filter for "len: > 255". What do you think would be the likely case?
I know I can always search with "len: > 255" as the name pattern and deal with things in bulk fashion. And I still have yet to do that, big time, but until then I want to be pro-active about new ones, and a saturated red background with white text would do that job pretty well for me.

And it works fabulously (v12.60.0006)! Very very helpful. I removed the Len column from my folder views. Thanks!

Wow this is fantastic! Now I don't need to rely too much on the long path scripts anymore. I still use them if I need to find long path names but at least visually I can tell right away if a folder or file name has a long file path. Sweet! Thanks!
