Is "maximum" in English different from similar words in other languages?
Emacs is an "extensible, customizable" editor, leaving most options to
user. Perhaps because of techniqucal reasons, this value cannot be
kept in poor conditions. So it doesn't exactly confirm to what user
thinks, in my opinion, this is not the "maximum" value set by user.
So the two names are different to me.
