I think that's something that could be left for later, if not never.
I find it hard to imagine extension modules with more than a few
thousand commands (the largest one in contrib is isn, with about 500).
No modern machine is going to have the slightest difficulty with that.
If it ever does get to be a problem in practice, we could rework the
implementation at that time.
