It is an limitation of the implementation. All database adapters share the same migrations helpers. If the SQLite3 adapter doesn't not accept the `limit` option to a string column and we raise an error when the users pass it the PostgreSQL adapter will also raise an error even that it is supported for that database.
Today it is also possible to write plugins to the migration helper easily without having to monkey patch them, changing to raise errors when the option is unknown will require these plugins to monkey patch them.
