I believe I have seen reports of people using thousands. However, since
this case is converted to OR, it won't be particular fast when you have
a number of values. In that case you are going to be better off loading
them into a temp table, analyzing the table and then using IN with a
subselect (and you want to be using 7.4 or later).
