I agree, and it will be much easier to program if you put such a 
limit to the maximum size of the sprites. I was myself thinking 
of appending the sprites that you create to a "sprite collection"
so that you could have a sequence of sprites in one file.

I can't promise to implement all the features you mentioned, 
but it has given me something to think about, and you never 
know :)
