Don't know about possible Gulam limits, but there IS a TOS-limit of
about 125 characters. There is an official work-around, but I wouldn't
expect any program to support it (yet).

Build a library! ( Even with unix, the cc has a limit of several hundred
o-files, and for greater programs you have to build libraries first )
