Rebuild Curve limited to 1000 control points

It feels like this has to be a known bug/limitation
Was scratching my head why my tree structures weren't matching when I realized Rebuild Curve caps each curve to 1000 Control Points.
If its a limitation or a safety of some sort, it should at least pop up an error and/or go orange, no? (was unsure what the white speech bubbles system in gh is called)

It's a hard-coded limitation, because 1000 is already an insane amount of points. The idea behind nurbs is that they can approximate almost any smooth shape with just a few control points. What do you need >1000 cps for?

I agree there should be a warning for invalid inputs, I'll add one.

had a curve with ~2.5k cps, generated from MMX.
Was trying to rebuild another curve to match that number of cps so the data trees would match.

Now that I know of the limitation, I can work around it.
It was just trying to figure out the failure point initially that wasn't obvious.

A warning for this was added to GH for Rhino 6.x. Not entirely sure when the general public will get access to it, worst case scenario only after 6.0 ships and you're part of the beta program.
