Comment (by darkdragon):

 I think no cap is best, since this is sounding like a WTF
 ([http://worsethanfailure.com Worse Than Failure]). The story about the
 guy who kept trying to check the database connection and try to reconnect,
 up to 5000 times.

 I don't think the wiki should be updated. Adding the checks in might
 hinder plugin developers and would only slow down the Plugin API. I think
 Plugin developers should give be given faith in that what they've written
 is what they meant and not mangle and slap their hand when we feel they've
 done something wrong.
