Double NARGS
I just ran a simple one-liner[1] to find the average filepath length on my system (absolute paths) and that came up with a value ~90 characters. Assume this is out by a factor of two, we still have potentially 5000 more arguments that we can put into the buffer. Surely one might run xargs(1) on something that is not a filename. We just choose to accomodate the common use-case as much as possible. [1] find / 2>/dev/null | awk '{print length($0)}' \ | awk '{a+=$1}END{print "average filepath length: ",a/NR}'
