Bad news:  While Rev lets you store up to about 4GB per field, it only
allows 64k in any given line (this also holds true for the sort command).

Good news:  Polygon points in Rev are stored with each point on a separate
line, so you should have no trouble storing the points list for even complex
polygons.

But I'm curious:  Given the arduousness of editing points from a list, do
they need to be displayed?  Might tucking them in a custom property suffice?
