I don't understand all the issues, but I get the impression that
BOOST_TYPEOF_LIMIT_SIZE isn't a good analogue for
BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_XXX_SIZE because most of the time you're not supposed
to change the latter.  Should we be changing one of these names, or
maybe do something to clearly advertise any differences?
