Chris Tate 9f2e9b00c9 Write the limitations partials one sentence per line
Each limitations partial held its whole text on one line (map-and-set.mdx
was a single 1,080-character line), so any two edits to the same partial
conflicted. The partials now put one sentence per line, with a bullet's
continuation lines indented two spaces. Markdown joins the lines, so the
rendered pages are unchanged.

scripts/limitations-partials.mjs reads a labeled bullet's indented
continuation lines as part of the bullet when it splits and joins the page,
and AGENTS.md states the convention.

- **Method values:** Borrowing a class method onto an unrelated object is unsupported.
Detached methods that use `this`, builtin method values, abstract declarations, unspecialized generic methods, and incompatible override signatures produce runtime errors or compilation diagnostics.
Supported class methods can be stored and passed as unbound functions.
A field call supplies its containing instance as `this`; `call`, `apply`, and `bind` work when the signature supports runtime-checked conversion.
Extracted overrides retain the selected method, and receiver validation accepts the declaring class and its subclasses.
