Just use the libraries that do; that's why there are more than one!

If the libraries that do allow limited items don't provide the
functionality you need, help add it.

Or, talk to the authors of the libraries that don't allow limited
items, but do offer the functions you want, about improving them.

SAL (http://www.toadmail.com/~ada_wizard/) allows limited items, but
is somewhat lacking in functionality compared to other libraries; want
to help improve it?
