Ho to override the limit of 99 vertex group per mesh?

I’ve encountered the limit of 99 vertex groups/mesh, is it possible to recompile blender wth a greater number of possible vertex groups?
I need this feature for a particular task, therefore files generated will be used only internally by the modded version.

SOLVED:
EDIT: i didn’t know that this is only a limit in the GUI. by using the outliner I can access all groups.
