Re: infinite loop

I happen to like "dou 'dog' = 'cat' because it immediately tells the programmer something infinite is happening here.
However, in my experience, an infinite loop usually means a broken thought process. There is a need for infinite loops, but not very often, in my opinion. 

*ducking*

If you notice, they refer you to FOR.  You might try
for x = 1 to *hival;
but you'd have to define x and then I'd wonder what about internal precision, etc. For example, if x was defined as 1,0, what happens when x goes over 9?
