 request, probably ~500 characters long, while WordPress can generate one
 longer than that.

 larger, ~8,000 is common AFAIK.

 WordPress should work around, but one that we should keep in mind. We
 could convert the `load` parameter to be a base64 compressed string, we
 could encode the params somehow (using numbers to represent scripts, etc)
 but it's all to solve a problem that realistically doesn't exist on modern
 servers.
