Currently I believe these are hardcoded as 4096 and 255 respectively. It would be better to detect the limits if possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62796371

I guess this would only work if we are sanitizing for the same platform which we are on. Maybe there could be another platform type "Native" which sanitizes for the platform which the script is being run on?
