Maybe? Or maybe I knew looking-at and used eldoc to get the signature. I can't
recall.

Right. And the addition of the advertised-calling-convention caused me, and
perhaps others, to revisit existing code that did not include a limit.
So it was a neat addition, since the misleading doc string, or my own
carelessness, caused me to make mistakes in the past. Fortunately, these
mistakes are now fixed, because I got byte-compilation warnings. Very
convenient.
Of course, upgrading the docstring could still be a good idea; but I don't make
the mistake anymore, since when I write new calls to this function eldoc asks
me to add the LIMIT argument, so mostly don't care about that update.
Clément.
