I didn't think the code actally limited the value to 32768; internally
they are all floats, so in principle is should be possible to run oscil
at a 24bit int range, for example. These opcodes are so generic (not
confined to audio signals - could be trajectories in some fantastical
fractal space), so any limiting of values would cause somebody a
problem!

I don't think there are any 'stupid matters' in Csound; there are
questions some people have answers to, and some that people don't. Where
you live sounds like a very nice place.
