Actually, I said it didn't come up much, but I know of several heavy
PL/pgSQL users who do have trouble with the 16 parameter limit, and I am
looking into increasing it.  If someone wants to do some legwork, go
ahead.  I do think it needs to be increases.  The lack of complains
makes it hard for me to advocate increasing it, especially if there is a
disk space penalty, but personally, I do think it needs increasing.
