Here's a case where I was copying from your series :)

Whichever way you go in your commit, I will copy.

I'm starting to agree that unbounded intermediates are okay because we
still have the overall bound on the max RPC; but I'm also thinking that
a global swap to unbounded would be better than introducing one instance
of an unbounded use.  So being consistent by having this commit preserve
a bound is fine by me.
