Thanks for testing!  I will see if I upload the new version tomorrow.

I haven't looked at the source of mathtools, but the construct

    \adjustlimits\lim_{n\to\infty} \max_{p\ge n}

is valid TeX code since the tokens `\lim' and `\max' become arguments 2
and 4 to \adjustlimits; no grouping is needed here.

It is basically the same as

   \def\x#1{\textbf{#1}}
   \x1 and \x 2 are \x Integers.

Best, Arash
