This reminds me to add that we looked at the infinite loop in my
Python slides regarding icosahedral numbers.

I reinforce how the "while True" construct, with no opportunities
for breaking out, might be an OK construct where *generators*
are concerned.

As teachers, we need to dilute some of that prejudice against
'while true' loops, lest we unwittingly pass it on to new talent.
