While working on the new compiler I realized that the Dict..... functions appear to be open ended. I want to put a upper limit on how large a Dictionary can be (number of items).
Does anyone build large Dictionaries?
What would be a practical upper limit on the number of items?

I use it in the IDE to hold all the libs when compiling. I also create one 300 elements big to hold all the control styles.  And there is one that holds all the threads during debug and I have no idea what a good number there would be.

Dict or hash or map require prime numbers..you can find it on many articles over internet...
also you can always use it as memory work.
