Can I increase the maximum number of indexes per collection in mongodb？

I have a collection that has different query params to support,as such I create indexes for every keys. I just added a few more and get an error:

pymongo.errors.OperationFailure: add index fails, too many indexes for collection key:{ foo: 1 }

and then I notice that the maximum number of indexes per collection in mongodb is just 64, Can I change this number ?

The max is built into MongoDB:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/limits/

Number of Indexes per Collection

A single collection can have no more than 64 indexes.
