The Jargon File's Guide to Hacker Slang:

restriction
A bug or design error that limits a program's capabilities, and which is sufficiently egregious that nobody can quite work up enough nerve to describe it as a feature. Often used (esp. by marketroid types) to make it sound as though some crippling bogosity had been intended by the designers all along, or was forced upon them by arcane technical constraints of a nature no mere user could possibly comprehend (these claims are almost invariably false).
Old-time hacker Joseph M. Newcomer advises that whenever choosing a quantifiable but arbitrary restriction, you should make it either a power of 2 or a power of 2 minus 1. If you impose a limit of 107 items in a list, everyone will know it is a random number — on the other hand, a limit of 15 or 16 suggests some deep reason (involving 0- or 1-based indexing in binary) and you will get less flamage for it. Limits which are round numbers in base 10 are always especially suspect.

In mathematics, the notion of restriction of a function is defined as follows:
If f : E → F is a function from E to F, and A is a subset of E, then the restriction of f to A is the (partial) function
having the graph 
.
(In rough words, it is "the same function", but only defined on 
.)
More generally, the restriction (or domain restriction or left-restriction) A ◁ R of a binary relation R between E and F may be defined as a relation having domain A, codomain F and graph G(A ◁ R) = {(x, y) ∈ G(R) | x ∈ A}. Similarly, one can define a right-restriction or range restriction R ▷ B. (Indeed, one could define a restriction to a subset of E x F, and the same applies to n-ary relations. These cases do not fit into the scheme of sheaves.)
The domain anti-restriction (or domain subtraction) of a function or binary relation R (with domain E and codomain F) by a set A may be defined as (E \ A) ◁ R; it removes all elements of A from the domain E. It is sometimes denoted A ⩤ R. Similarly, the range anti-restriction (or range subtraction) of a function or binary relation R by a set B is defined as R ▷ (F \ B); it removes all elements of B from the codomain F. It is sometimes denoted R ⩥ B.
Examples
- The restriction of the non-injective function
to 
is the injection 
. - The inclusion map of a set A into a superset E of A is the restriction of the identity function on E to A.
