I have wished for +7 plate mail and gotten it.  But I get a similar message
when I read a scroll of enchant armor that affected it.  It appears that for
each type of armor there is a maximum enchantment value.  Lately I've been
wishing for +6 plate mail when I haven't yet seen a scroll of enchant armor.
