I think that having max 255 args and 255 kwargs is a good and reasonable limit which we can live on, and helps the virtual machine implementation

Is there any corresponding limit to the number of arguments to tuple and dict constructor? If not, the limit could perhaps be circumvented without changing the VM by having the compiler convert calls with large numbers of args into code that builds an appropriate tuple and dict and makes a *args/**kwds call. -- Greg
