Comments: | I agree with Robin. I drafted an extra sense in the 限る entry and propose deleting this one. |

Comments: | 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. |

Comments: | 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. |
