The code lets you distinguish. It simply needs to DTRT when it knows that the
arbitrary limit was reached.

Look at the code in both simple.el and paren.el. The code knows when it is using
the limit (narrowing etc.). Currently, it doesn't distinguish this case from the
case where it simply hits bob/eob, but it certainly could.

(No, I won't be sending a patch for this. If the will is there, you will see
easily enough what needs to be done.)
