This limit already exists, and it should be enough for
a start. Anyway, once the scheme is developed, it will be
easy to extend if it's worth it or required. For vast
majority of cases 15 is enough.

4 and 8 byte parameters are enough for all win32
calling conventions. So it's possible to pass BYTE
already.

win32: 4 or 8 for arguments, return value can be 4, 8 bytes or double/float.
plus each in two variations: cdecl or stdcall (winapi)
win64: 8 for argument, return value is also 8 bytes

For win64 current solution covers all combinations, as
there is a much simpler calling convention there, see:
