But by that line of reasoning, the parameter could be 'bool', which
would also work just as well, so long as one likes the arbitrary
limit of 1 that is imposed by 'bool'.

We should avoid arbitrary limits on the lengths of data structures.
Limiting that list length to 1, or to 255, or to 65535, would impose
an arbitrary limit.
