I guess the limitation is determined by the C++/C language. As I recalled from some textbooks, 256 Max. arguments in one function call in C++ and 128 in C. 

But I guess nobody writes a function with tens of arguments. I did write a configuration function as ioc shell with 9 arguments which works well.
