Best (in my opinion) would be if gp had a command-line option to turn off
the breakloop default, since Sage could easily use that. It might be
worth suggesting that possibility upstream.

developers without much success.
I suppose that from their point of view it makes no sense to use gp non-
interactively, since gp is the interactive interface to the pari library!
