We already *did* increase the standard max number of function
parameters, from 8 to 16, and that was just a couple or three versions
back.  I don't recall hearing any groundswell of complaints to evidence
that very many people need it set higher.

NAMEDATALEN is a different story --- we do see complaints about that
fairly regularly.
