<upd_detl>Weird entry/gloss. I would translate に限る as "to be limited to" or something like that. This is not in gg5/daij though and I'm not 
sure it needs to be an entry.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Is it a separate entry in daijr/gg5, or just a 
sense in 限る？ I have a feeling this would be 
better to just cover (with the same note) in 
the 限る entry.
Do we do "X"/"Y" when there's two unknown 
variables? I forget, but recall seeing it 
somewhere. It's not very pretty though.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I would be in favour of moving this to the 限る entry.
Given that use of "に限る" isn't exclusive to this sense, this entry is potentially confusing.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I agree with Robin. I drafted an extra sense in the 限る entry and propose deleting this one.</upd_detl>
