Warning concerning Bounded Mapping to Metric Space

From Real Number Line is Metric Space, we can in theory consider defining boundedness on a real-valued function in terms of boundedness of a mapping into a metric space.

However, as a metric space is itself defined in terms of a real-valued function in the first place, this concept can be criticised as being a circular definition.
