+Where an interpreter with a resource limit set on it creates a slave
+interpreter, that slave interpreter will have resource limits imposed
+on it that are at least as restrictive as the limits on the creating
+master interpreter. If the master interpreter of the limited master
+wishes to relax these conditions, it should hide the \fBinterp\fR
+command in the child and then use aliases and the \fBinterp
+invokehidden\fR subcommand to provide such access as it chooses to the
+\fBinterp\fR command to the limited master as necessary.
