The number of tables stored at one Erlang node <em>used</em> to

The previous default limit was about 1400 tables and
could be increased by setting the environment variable
- <c>ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES</c> before starting the Erlang runtime
- system. This hard limit has been removed, but it is currently
+ <c>ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES</c> or the command line option
+ <seealso marker="erts:erl#+e"><c>+e</c></seealso> before starting the
+ Erlang runtime system. This hard limit has been removed, but it is currently
useful to set the <c>ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES</c> anyway. It should be
