Sending a "bang" message to the [until] object, created without an argument saying how many times the bang should be done, will give roughly the same effect--
If only!
Objects that overflow the stack cause an exception, most of which trap nicely and you get a gentle report not to do that again.
Sending an unqualified bang to [until] will have you reaching for power switch because it enters a very tight loop with no exit condition and no hope of even seeing a SIGINT.
I know we like to pretend this is "feature", but isn't it time to treat it as a bug?
