Nothing carved in stone, but here are the two reasons I see:
- we don't want users to use arbitrary regexp to match headlines as they
are very likely to shoot themselves in the foot (Harven's example of
using "-" instead of "*" is a good example of that.)
- Given this, I am not able to imagine a good way of limiting the number
of allowed characters.

I'd interested in any solution to the problems above.

Please share!

Yep -- if you have the energy to go through the code and see where it is
hardcoded while it should not, please do.
