Hmm, why there could be specified only single "limit"? I believe this
should be a bitfield. Same for the internal api to the driver.
Hm I was expecting limits to be ordered (in maths sense) but you're
right perhaps that can't be always guaranteed.

Also - Moshe please double check that there will not be any kdoc
warnings here - I just learned that W=1 builds don't check headers
but I'll fix up my bot by the time you post v2.


Didn't know this tool, but I will. Thanks.
