I wonder if this is the same with other contexts, now that all objects act like the global context in R2? Nice to see that limit documented though.
This will change once modules are implemented, and we then no longer have a global context at all. How it will change remains to be seen. |

R3 limits the total number of symbols (words in symbol table) to about 500'000. This is a reasonable limit of the hash table.
If you run the loop above, it takes a very long time to use up all those words. |

Thanks Carl, that is a very nice augmentation on R2 symbol limit.
one of my clients has had problems with this in r2... because his objects structures where too large to fit into system/words. structures come from international data interchange standards agencies in his domain, so he has no control over names and size of data sets (which are huge). Yes REBOL is being used in large enterprise apps! |

Is it not possible to throw an error rather than have the system crash when the limit is reached? |
