node commment is not using my views paging and limits

nodecomment_render in nodecomment.module has this hardcoded to 40 and to always use paging

$output = theme('view', $view_name, 40, TRUE, 'embed', array($nid));

can this be changed to instead rely on the "views" default setup like so:

$output = theme('view', $view_name, NULL,NULL,'embed', array($nid));

then the nodecomment views can be modified to use "40" and paging in the view definitions.
