If people want to make sure to not be bitten by the endless loop, they
could just use 

  [inlet]
  |
  [b]
  |
  [f 1000000000000]
  |     [inlet]
  |     |
  [until]
  |
  [outlet]

as an abstraction called: [funtil] It will bang 1000000000000 times
unless stopped, which is more bangs for the bang than most people
would want.

Ciao
