I have been planning to make this exact change for some time. Search
gmane.org for discussion about the ssnLimit property. I am a little busy
with 0.8 at the moment but I will do this in the next round.

A program should be written to  model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the  potential for it  to be applied  to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more  important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
