rc.subr: $_ulimit

May I humbly ask what happened to bin/35530?

I would like to have a means in rc.subr by which an rc.d
script can
give ulimits the command is to be run with.
I.e., just set foobar_ulimit="-m 999" in
rc.d/foobar.

I suspect the lack of response is a combination of:

  While every new spiffy feature, like the one you ask for,
is
  interesting and possibly useful, there's also a
countervailing
  complexity argument, both in terms of impact on system
speed, and
  difficulty of future maintenance.  I think the ulimit
feature is
  reasonable, personally.

  There was no patch to implement the variable and properly
document it
  in your PR.

I didn't check the PR to read about it yet. But what about
...

Using /etc/rc.conf.d/foobar to place the actual ulimit
command you want?

It seems like it is rarely needed, so just doing it
/etc/rc.conf.d/foobar 
would be fine.
