Carve-outs may go without saying — they usually do — and many can be regarded as a species of redundancy: of a piece with a “[[without limitation]]” or an “[[for the avoidance of doubt|avoidance of doubt]]”. Yet how playful it can be, when the [[carve-out]] is ''from'' a “[[without limitation]]” or an “[[for the avoidance of doubt|avoidance of doubt]]”! Some are woven from a stouter fibre, whose implied articulation no drafting, however doubtless, could presume. | Carve-outs may go without saying — they usually do — and many can be regarded as a species of redundancy: of a piece with a “[[without limitation]]” or an “[[for the avoidance of doubt|avoidance of doubt]]”.
