 This function returns @code{t} if @var{regexp} matches the text
 immediately before point (i.e., ending at point), and @code{nil} otherwise.
 
 Because regular expression matching works only going forward, this is
 implemented by searching backwards from point for a match that ends at
 point.  That can be quite slow if it has to search a long distance.
-You can bound the time required by specifying @var{limit}, which says
-not to search before @var{limit}.  In this case, the match that is
-found must begin at or after @var{limit}.  Here's an example:
