I don't think I have used it with more than 30 arguments, but when you
write code to write code there is not limit to the size of the code
that can be written. I was curious if you could actually pass 1024
arguments to a routine without an exception or buffer overflow and you
can. By the way, I use this routine as part of some general routines
that create hdf files and excel spreadsheets which an undetermined at
compilation numbers of columns.
