Approved amendment on 限る.

  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.
