Thanks for the contribution, I am going to hold off merging this into dev until I can test and evaluate it myself. I have been hesitant to integrate this kind of change in the past but perhaps it is becoming necessary.

I just wanted to loop back on this PR because I feel the Lighthouse development branch is now better equipped to avoid bumping into this limitation.
If you are working with a large number of coverage files (say, 1,000 files from a fuzzer), use the following workflow:
File --> Load file --> Load coverage batch
menu option. This will load and aggregate all your selected coverage files into 'one' set. It will load much faster, and use far less memory than loading all files individually.Xref coverage set
right click context menu in the graph/intruction views of IDA. This will list all the coverage files (or loaded sets!) that hit the given block.The shorthand symbols were meant to make writing compositions simple and fast to explore the relationships between a handful of sets (eg, 2-5) at one time. There should never be a use case where you need 26+ unique sets loaded for a query, and this PR further enables a workflow that I don't want to promote.
Sorry this has taken so long, but unless you come up with a more compelling use case -- I will be declining this PR.
Thanks again for the contribution! And I hope you find the above useful going forward :-)
…re than 26 test cases.
(This is especially relevant for visualizing coverage of test cases created by fuzzing)
