/** @file limits.hpp
 ** hard wired safety limits.
 ** Whenever some task is attempted until success, or in response to external input,
 ** an arbitrary fixed constraint is imposed for indexing, counting, searching
 ** and similar ordinal operations. These limits are a protection against ordinal
 ** and index numbers insanely out-of dimension, like e.g. a symbolic ID with more
 ** than 1000 characters. Whenever an actual allocation is based on such ordinal values,
 ** a tighter and more specific limitation will be enforced on a case by case base.

 ** @see symbol-impl.cpp
