1M tokens ~= 3.5M characters ~= 58k LOC at an average of 60 chars/line. 88k LOC at 40 chars/line

OK - I was thinking 1M chars (@ 50 chars/line) vs tokens, but I'm not sure it makes much difference to the argument. There are plenty of commercial code bases WAY bigger, and as noted other things may also be competing for space in the context.
