If there isn't a technical reason why this is necessary, there's no reason to create such a limitation. If there is such a reason, just pick something big and make the code enforce it.

There is currently no need to limit the length of identifiers. Keep the note about possible future limits, because we may someday need a limit. (And because it's useful to document that there is currently no limit.)
