I was thinking the same. However there isn't really a better example.
FWIW, I agree with rob this limit should be kept, until someone does
actually create a program which breaks it.

Think about it: 30 *nested* includes?? That's pretty major, it won't
happen until you have several hundred programmers working on a
multi-million pound project, if ever.
