number of parameters to a stored procedure

Hello all,

It is my understanding that 16 parameters are allowed in a stored
procedure. If this is correct (please advise if not):

1. What are the reasons for this limitation?
2. Are there any plans to increase this number, say to 32 parameters, and
if so, when is this change expected?
3. If there are no imminent plans to support this, would a patch increasing
the number of parameters to 32 be seriously considered?

Thanks in advance!
