Neil,
  Is there any chance that anyone is depending on the table limits to identify
a problem--that is, I want my job to crash if I have more that 15Mb in this
table?  If not (or, more precisely, if the chance is miniscule, as I suspect
it is), then I'd say respond to the "set limit" command with a

Note: Set Limit no longer valid--ignored

or some such.  That is, as there is no danger to having the "set limit" in 
there, don't make it a "warning" but only a "note".
