23,[core] Re-evaluate max. number of get_args values,kjs,,"In compilers/imcc/pcc.c, in the function pcc_get_args, there is a #define for the maximum number of get_args values:

    #define PCC_GET_ARGS_LIMIT 15

The comment that goes with it says:
 /* Avoid allocations on frequent number of params.
     * Arbitrary value, some fine tunning may be good.
     */

The number of 15 seems indeed to be arbitrary, and is certainly a limitation.
This ticket then is to pick one of the following options:

1. leave it to 15.
2. increase it to some higher number
3. make it flexible, allowing any number of get_args values.

This must be decided and implemented.
