I mean 4 is probably too many, 8 definitely is, but also what about splat-args like zip or min. Why not stop at 4? Why not stop at 8 since its a power of two? Any hand-picked limit just feels pretty bleh to me. Either support everything or dont support it at all IMO

Why overthink it. Stopping at the highest single digit decimal number is a fine choice. I’m more unsettled by the sequence starting at _1 instead of _0 if anything.
