I understand that point, theoretically, not practically. Reaching memory
limit would typically requires millions of match. This may occur in
theory, less in practice (where you will have at most a thousand... and
this would be not so common).
I though this was a good idea, but do not feel it is worth the reactions
it produced, so I suggest to just forget it (unless someone feel the
layout of Ada.Command_Line may be part of the good first feeling some new
comers may have about Ada).
