So you're saying that comparing:

| mlen < mlen_max

is somewhat more obvious than doing:

| num_args < num_args_max

You may be right, but num_args can be more easily computed than mlen
because there's no need to determine whether a header is present.  "2 *
num_args" seems like suggestive notation for mlen, but it's also
slightly misleading because it's not the real mlen.  The comment above
talks about the limit in terms of components rather than in terms of
payload size, and the BSpec also talks about this restriction in terms
of parameters, e.g.:

| SIMD16 messages with six or more parameters exceed the maximum message
| length allowed, in which case they are not supported. [...] if 5 or
| fewer parameters are included in the message, the SIMD16 form of the
| message is allowed.

So it seemed like it would make sense to do the comparison in terms of
the argument count too.  (I've taken your other suggestions into account
locally)
