Maybe we should even *preach* to send numbers instead of a bang into [until] in general? If you use a large enough number, it's "almost the same" as a bang except that it will stop by itself at some point.

If you send a bang it also stops by itself. It will make 4294967295 iterations. This is because bang is equivalent to -1 which is equivalent to that number. Read the source at x_connective.c, until_bang().
