Is there/should there be a way to set/disable MAXACTION? e.g. with
MAXACTION defined as 1000 and MAXMAPENTRIES defined as 2048, it would
seem there's no way to iterate over a full map in non-guru mode.
Also, I could see some applications wanting to set larger values for
MAXMAPENTRIES or MAXSTRINGLEN for instance, so maybe there should be a
general way to supply values for any global definition...
