(#15272928)
Guido had stated that he didn't want the implementation to place arbitrary limits on the language specification.
This particular limit was not present in the early Python 2 releases.
When the limit was added, limiting arguments wasn't the goal; instead, it was just an artifact of a patch regarding how keyword arguments and positional arguments we encoded in Python's bytecode scheme.
