The novelty (at least for me) is that there are 370 parameters at all
;-)

In software engineering 10 parameters is already approaching the "bad
style" region. Due to lack of structures and objects one could grant
SBasic a few more, but basically the less the better.

Certainly over 256 I guess but I don't really have a clue. In some
parts of the compiler that I have seen the limit was around 32k of
parameters. But it's not unlikely that in other parts the limit is
further down.

I hope nobody is trying to actually find that limit in practice,
though.
