The list was fixed at 12. Preferences ▸ Documents and view now takes a
number from 0 to 50, with 12 as the default. At 0 Home has no Recent
section and File ▸ Open Recent is disabled.
The list is cut when Preferences closes, so the number can pass through
0 on its way to another. Until then Home and saved settings already
leave out what is past it. A settings file can't ask for more than 50.
The control channel and launch options take it as recent-files. The two
new strings go in every catalog as English copies.
