st: Recognizing the full length of a macro

[Fred Wolfe <fwolfe@arthritis-research.org>]

Stata SE allows a macro to have a length <= 1,081,511. However string 
functions including length() and index() don't recognize lengths greater 
than 245.

Perhaps recognizing the full length of macro could be added to the wish 
list. Until that time, however, I suggest this limitation be added to the 
help limits and help strfun files.
