My goal wasn't reusability so much as visibility.  It's an artificial
limitation we impose to prevent memory exhaustion in a recursive call,
not a true error condition.  I also did this with the thought of
eventually trying to make the parser usable for pacman-related
programs outside of pacman proper and making the limit configurable.
I don't know if a macro is the best way to do that, though.
