   Format: MarkdownItexWe already had [[convergence space]], which (in principle) covers convergence in all kinds of spaces (by describing their underlying convergence spaces). But it is better to give that topic it its own page (just as we have [[open subset]] as well as [[topological space]]). I have long had vague plans to write this at [[convergence]] (which used to be a redirect to [[convergence space]] but now redirects to [[limit of a sequence]]). I would still put that forth as the best name for the page.

   Format: MarkdownItexThat makes sense. But I found that several entries mentioned "limits" in the sense of analysis/toplogy without pointing anywhere, which is why I created "limit of a sequence". Only after I had created it did I see that we had "convergence space". But [[limit of a sequence]] is just a stub anyway. It is good to have such an entry which briefly states the idea. For detailed discussion it can point to "converegence space" and I think all will be good.
