In CHICKEN, the apply limit is 126 if you are on a platform which has
no specific assembly "apply hack" implementation.  Whether there is an
apply hack can be detected via the presence of the "manyargs" feature
(which is also available for cond-expand).  The exact number of arguments
can currently be queried via the ##sys#apply-argument-limit variable.
