It's not really a bash thing.  It's an underlying operating system
(kernel) thing.  See "man setrlimit" for the libc interface.

Bash doesn't really have any way of knowing what the valid ranges are.
That isn't part of the getrlimit/setrlimit interface.  The only things
you can ask for are the current hard and soft limits.
