New issue 147 by mike.lifeguard: set_highlimits doesn't actually do
anything - remove it
http://code.google.com/p/perlwikipedia/issues/detail?id=147
The apihighlimits userright allows an account to retrieve more results at
once than normal. We have a set_highlimits method that sets an internal
flag - but that flag isn't used anywhere. I believe it was used in the past
to decide how many results to request from the API, but most methods
currently ask for 'max', which means we don't need to know whether we have
apihighlimits, or whether set_highlimits was used. There is no conceivable
reason not to use highlimits if you have the userright, and we do so by
default (by virtue of using 'max').
Because it is not used currently, will not be used in the future, and
causes confusion for programmers (see
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66790#txn-912990), I suggest
removing this method and the internal flag entirely.
