Memory can be allocated from the heap, I know. But I guess this limit is
really the size of an array. Why did they pose a limit otherwise?

Now, to show it, I extracted the povray code (I wanted to do that once
anyway), did a grep over it and guess what I found (in tokenize.h):

#define MAX_PARAMETER_LIST 20

[snip]

struct Pov_Macro_Struct
{
  char *Macro_Name;
  char *Macro_Filename;
  long Macro_Pos,Macro_Line_No,Macro_End;
  int Num_Of_Pars;
  char *Par_Name[MAX_PARAMETER_LIST];
};

Oh, I see. So we need 3 digits after all?
