How about the time the lexical analyzer wastes scanning a 65536 char object name?
And how unreadable your code will be with lots of 65536 char variables?
And the time it would take to write a script if all your variable names were 65536
chars long?

I don't think it will be a feature I am likely to use anyway. 256 chars is plenty
for me.
