/**
 * Creates a rate limiting middleware to restrict the number of requests per client within a specified time window.
 *
 * @param maxRequests - The maximum number of requests allowed per client within the time window. Defaults to 100.
 * @param windowMs - The duration of the time window in milliseconds. Defaults to 15 minutes (15 * 60 * 1000 ms).
 * @returns A middleware function that enforces rate limiting based on client IP address.
 *
 * @throws {RateLimitError} If the client exceeds the allowed number of requests within the time window.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * app.use(createRateLimiter(50, 10 * 60 * 1000)); // 50 requests per 10 minutes
 * ```
