From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seriously though, limiting the macro length to something reasonable should work, but it’s also guaranteed to make some people mad. I’m sure there’s at least one user who is working on something absurdly obscure that requires a macro long enough to reach beyond the edge of the observable universe.
My solution is to make the default behavior sensible, while proving a special option for that one guy. Just limit it for the average user, but not for everyone.
Well you make that adjustable with infinite being one of the choices. Set it to a default of something like 25 and let the user increase if they need to.
That would be a very nice option. In some apps, 0=infinite, while the other numbers work as expected.
Yeah I mean the issue mentions that a reasonable default that can be override.
