[Bf-docboard] Overlooked in the documentation, as far as I can tell....

[Campbell Barton]

This guideline was added to avoid documenting arbitrary/unimportant
limits... since they aren't really helping users and often get
out-dated (whenever a new menu item or option is added) ~ in fact most
of them I found imported from the wiki were wrong.

However *some* limits could make sense to document...

- Maximum frame.
- Length of name inputs.
- Usable range for objects in the scene.

On the other hand you can figure this out fairly easily by just trying
to exceed them.
Also not sure where they fit in our docs... so don't have really
strong opinion here.
