Description

Its currently possible to initialize the max limit of a range metaParameter with a number:

But, would it be possible to dynamically modify the max based on another value by maybe passing in a function instead?

eg.

This is a made up example of a nut (🔩), where the aim is to limit the maximum hole size to always be smaller than the outer hexagon.

Research direction

Start with the imetaparameter API documentation for the max range limit and run the linked Maker.js playground example and gist. Determine how a limit derived from another value should behave; the work is done when the nut example can keep its hole size below the outer hexagon and the supported behavior is documented.
