Inserters should respect logistics and circuit limits

This isn't a big deal, but it would be nice if an inserter has a logistics or circuit limit set on it (eg <item> < 50), that it would respect this and only transfer items up to 50 instead of transfering the max it can via inserter bonuses.

Eg. If the stack inserter is fully upgraded and can transfer 12 items and the factory is at 49 items and the condition on the inserter is item < 50 right now the inserter would transfer 12 items and put the total at 61. It should actually transfer 1 item to put the total at 50.

Again, this isn't game breaking or anything, but when you want to keep numbers of certain items exact it doesn't allow you to do it.

Well, this would require it to work a very different way, so I won't fix it.

No worries, it would be a nice to have but not a big deal.
