I was talking to Ben Adida last week (OpenACS) and he mentioned they are
having problems with the limit at 16, and it seems Josh is as well. Ben
is doing some object-oriented function mechanism, and you know how that
can eat parameters. Seems we should increase to 24 or 32. Is there a
downside to the increase. I can't even imagine a performance hit.
