Is Rule 36 limited to a term of court limitation?

The brief 1944 Advisory Committee Note to Rule 36 did not similarly refer to the term-of-court limitation; but it stated that Rule 36 continued "existing law," citing Rupinski v. United States, 4 F.2d 17 (6th Cir. 1925). In that case, the court of appeals held that it had the power to grant a request for the "clerical" correction of an "error . . . discovered[] long after the term had passed." Id. at 18 (emphasis added).
