If the code is generated by a program, that's not a concern. If the data
structures are allocated dynamically, the only limit should be available
storage.
If the code doesn't have to be supported by a human then you might be
right. If it does then nope! Code that is generated by a program is
usually the
output of a compiler that generates object code that we generally don't
care about until we need to debug it. If a program generates REXX code then
it should generate good REXX code that doesn't have telescoping function
arguments.
