No, no, a hundred times no.  There is no "maximum" number.  (You may,
perhaps, be underestimating the perversity of language designers.)
The current plan of an (almost) unified namespace for all code and
data, where it's up to the language implementor to design a name
mangling scheme, has the advantage of being known to work.
