 Yeah, it refers to the invocation of `check_type_length_before_alloc' in 
the caller really, which is where this comment was placed previously.  I 
have updated the wording to:

/* Try to limit ourselves to only fetching the limited number of
   elements.  However, if this limited number of elements still
   puts us over max_value_size, then we still refuse it and
   return failure here, which will ultimately throw an error.  */

This will be included in the next iteration.  Let me know if you have any 
concerns about this rewrite.
