I don't think it is a good idea to provide standard ways to say that an
implementation doesn't comply with a standard.  There's a line length limit
in the spec, it's not hard to support.

Intereesting question but then I ask max connections from what, a single IP, a /24,
something else?  I also worry this could be close to saying here's how to DDoS me.

Also for this particular case I'd say the excess connection should greet
with 421 and enhanced status code (it's be 4.3.7) to say too many connections.
