Yes, because of what Coda said and you made the point of snipping from
the quote:

> LuaJIT just has higher limits.

What's your point? Using one less than the limit in Lua will also NOT
throw the error. (Nice use of capitals for dramatic emphasis there, by
the way.)

Strawman Argument. There's a gazillion ways to write long
machine-generated code that Lua runs just fine, and there's a ton of
such examples out there.

The simplest solution to your problem is: store your automatically
generated data in a table, not in locals.
