At first I thought I'd increase it to 16, but
when I looked at the amount of extra code
it would take, in both the interpreter and the
translator, I decided just to go with 9 for now,
which is the maximum that anyone has ever asked for.
Those who now have the source can see that the
amount of code required goes up something like n-squared.
It also slows down all callbacks slightly if a larger number
of arguments is supported.
