Is there any corresponding limit to the number of arguments to
tuple and dict constructor? If not, the limit could perhaps be
circumvented without changing the VM by having the compiler
convert calls with large numbers of args into code that builds
an appropriate tuple and dict and makes a *args/**kwds call.
