set-short-length! parse-options short-lengthprocedure

The short_length parameter determines how long the links are allowed to be. The intended use of this is to speed up parsing by not considering very long links for most connectors, since they are very rarely used in a correct parse. An entry for UNLIMITED-CONNECTORS in the dictionary will specify which connectors are exempt from the length limit.
