We have some code where we make extensive use of the PHPDOC @property comment section so we can dynamically execute methods in our system (IE: The code actually hits the magic __get() method) so we use @property tags to trigger code completion prompts within PHPEd.

Well... we've found there seems to be a limit of the first 200 @property tags being in the code completion listing. Is there a way to make this number bigger?

I'd imagine the limit is there for some form of memory management within PHPED's operations, but we have a list of 240 @property tags, so PHPED doesn't suggest any of the properties after the first 200, which is kind of annoying when we're trying to code quicker, or we hand over the use of the code to a new developer, and the remaining 40 properties just don't appear if they are hunting the dropdown for the correct property name.

Would there be a registry setting, config file change, or setting within PHPED that would allow this limit to be increased?
