So, should there be a parameter that controls the maximum amount of memory
emacs is allowed to allocate (and not just in the lisp heap), like an
internal ulimit?
The uncertainty of that limit in a given system appears to be motivating
the calibration of these gc parameters. Combine that with dire warnings
about the consequences of mis-setting those parameters but no apparent way
to get at the cause of those settings being unsafe.
