I'd like to suggest the option that primitives would be unaffected by render limits (bounding box)
Easiest example of why is with the following;
I want to render a bounded mandelbox on a plane or surface of some sort. But the bounds imposed on the fractal are also applied to the plane (so I can't have one, basically).
As an added bonus, I suppose, allowing the volumetric effects to be unaffected by render limits might be useful too.
Alternately, if there's a different way to achieve this, I'd be grateful to learn how.
Example :
# Mandelbulber settings file
# version 2.11
# only modified parameters
