If the genre conventions are clear and the GM is happy to make
consistent rulings, then the players could ask for the unlimited
ability,
and be allowed to or will be told that it is not available -- the
ability
they end up with is not limited if the unlimited one is not allowed
in the rules of the world.  Those situations do not seem to be
part of the classification of the original poster.

Especially in case (C), where the players think that the unlimited
ability would not be allowed, but don't actually test that judgement
by offering such a character to the GM -- in which case they would
either have the unlimited ability or at least be in group (D) --
what's
discouraging them from doing so, if it isn't a hostile GM?
