Thanks. I was trying to make an editable 8x8 chessboard macro when I stumbled onto this.

Yes, the arity is limited to <= 63 for the moment; this should have been documented so far.  We might easily increase the limit on 64 bit architectures, but 32 bit machines seem still to be used for the moment.

Out of curiosity, for what do you need larger arities?

This seems to arise from `tag_info.cpp` where `arity_base` is determined via `get_bits (arity_base      , 6);`.

The following macro results in a macro with only two editable fields in the editor:


<assign|tobold|<macro|x| - <with|font-series|bold|<arg|x>> >>

<assign|testbold|<xmacro|args|<map-args|tobold|concat|args>>>

<drd-props|testbold|arity|66|accessible|all>


A similar thing happens with arity set to 130. The resulting arity seems to be modulo 64.
