Okay, but I still am missing something: we already have a couple of
"set SOMETHING" commands that use the convention that setting a limit
to zero (or -1 in one case) means unlimited. Can't we use this in the
case in point, rather than inventing a new add_* interface? Given
that we already have so many different add_command interfaces (and
all but 2 of them are undocumented), I'd rather not introduce yet
another interface unless we really have to.
