Why are you doing this?  I can't imagine queries with that many table
references ever being something useful? I'm pretty sure there's better
solutions for what you're doing.

It's not impossible, it's not entirely trivial either. The relevant
variables currently are 16bit wide, and the limit is close to the max
for that.
