Nobody said that just because a range is infinite, that it

cycle([]) is not infinite. A infinitely repeated empty range is
the empty range.
I'd argue that cycle should be redefined as "Repeats the
*content* of the given forward range ad infinitum." From there,
passing it an empty range would be a logic error, since said
range didn't have any content.
