Jneubert added a comment. This is not only a question of the tools in use, but also it also imposes length restrictions to queries, which are transmitted in the GET URL.
To cite the Stackoverflow entry mentioned above <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url-in-different-browsers>: //"Extremely long URLs are usually a mistake. URLs over 2,000 characters will not work in the most popular web browsers. Don't use them if you intend your site to work for the majority of Internet users."// Complex queries hit this limit quite easily (for examples from another application domain, see https://github.com/jneubert/skos-history/tree/master/sparql/stw). And we won't enforce bad practices like waiving comments and indents, one-character variable names and the like. Another use case are queries with long VALUES lists as input (e.g. of names or codes from another application). Such clauses also can easily exceed any reasonable GET URL length.
