I'm not sure what you're saying.  The limitation on command-line

limitation comes primarily from the Windows command shell.
Linux has a similar limit which comes from the OS (normally around 32k) So it would be useful there for extreme cases too.


Not so extreme, we have seen people run into this problem on
GNU/Linux systems fairly often. It seems defective design to
me for any OS to have such silly limits, but the fact is that many do!
