ummm.... why is there a limits.h file now?

| 1) limits.h is a "C" compatibility header. Use something besides this,

You're 101% right -- I missed that that when it went in.

|    just be included in bits/std_limits.h:
| 
| #include <bits/c++config.h>
| #include <bits/cpu_limits.h>
| 
| Thoughts?

You're right.
