How many bytes the collected operations come to as the one command tmux parses.

<p>tmux packs a command into MAX_IMSGSIZE, 16384 bytes, and refuses a longer one with
{@code command too long}; measured, it takes about 16300 of them. A batch taken from a handle
travels as this one string plus the guard that fences it, so it costs this and a little more.
One dispatched as separate arguments costs less, since nothing there is quoted.
