If people define classes by hand, I imagine 64k would be enough. But
suppose they are using light-weight classes, i.e. giving each object
its own behavior. Then it would be fairly easy to have more than 64K
of them, though 1M is still a reasonable limit.
What is the difference in cost between choosing 64K as the limit and
choosing 1M? I know, one byte, but what else would you use that byte
for?
