I dunno, I'm not convinced (not that there is any need to convince
me). If the actual number of arguments can be greater than 4096, then
4096 isn't an upper bound, is it? If some other interpretation was
intended, e.g. that a number of arguments less than 4096 will
certainly be OK and >= 4096 might or might not, then some other words
should have been used ... Not a big deal in any case.

All the best,
