LOL! Yeah.
Anyway, in accordance with what you said bang-until is the one that is in the 0.1% of "worth thinking about safety" issues, precisely because it does not cause a stack overflow.
I'm sold on the "it's a feature logic", sorry for being so dumb as to suggest turning Until into For, but we need to consider a safety catch. An overflow is like shooting yourself in the foot, you have to make the careless and embarrasing mistake of pointing it at your foot and pulling the trigger. Bang-until is more like the chamber exploding in your face.
