Summary: Compiler Limits (indentation)

Initial Comment:
The reference manual does not mention the indentation
limits of compiler implementations.

Suggestion: In section 2.1.7 Indentation add the
following at the end of the section:

Implementations may explicity limit the maximum
indentation level. 

For CPython check tokenizer.h for build specifics
(default value is set to 100). 
For Jython check
org.python.parser.PythonGrammerTokenManager (default
value is set to 20).

I have no issue adding a comment that the indentation level is 
not infinite, but I don't think it should be mentioned where to 
find it since the reference manual is for the language and not 
any specific implementation.

Anyone else agree?
