    Yes, but those games (1826, 1846, 1851, 1861, 18GL, 18US and 18West) 
can be taken care of already via the 'quantity' value for their tiles.  
That is, unlimited 7/8/9s in those games are not an optional feature.  
That being said I can see that some game variants (I can not think of 
any official ones at the moment) might specify some tiles as unlimited 
while leaving the rest limited.    Since the number of tiles to be 
modified in this manner would probably be small this could be taken care 
of via the XML IfOption tag.    The current discussion of 'unlimited 
tiles' affects all tiles and thus does seem to be better taken care of 
within code.
