   Oh, i just thought you meant that it was weird that it would allow   
   unterminating constructs in the REPL in the first place.  Seeing as how   
   the previous bits of the documentation already state that the evaluated   
   result of (lrange 0) is an infinite list, i would assume that the ‘it’ in   
   “it won't terminate” refers to the REPL (or rather that command in the   
   REPL).
