I hope, for everyone's sake, that (assuming we accept this PR, which
is a good idea in general) implementations will be setting limits
quite low before triggering paging.  Otherwise, we will have a feature
that is surprising when developers first encounter it.  If you set the
limit to 1000 entries in the list, then you will find that very few
people encounter the problem, but those that do will find their tools
fail them.

You should recommend a limit that is a small number, like 10.  That
might appear often enough that developers get the message.
