Absence of limit makes sense. Both 9 and 4 look like some magic number. 4 was questioned by OP, I just added a question for 9. I do not think though somebody is going to bother with memory (de)allocation implied by removing the limit. But before increasing limit to 9, 99 or INT_MAX one has to answer why. I do not see much difference between 4 and 9: I never actually needed more then 3; and even 3 diffed buffers are a bit confusing. Thus I would like to hear a use-case that resulted in request to increase the limit. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
