I am just watching Marko's talk on gremlin <http://vimeo.com/26377162#at=0> and 
I am a bit confused about how the loop works.
 
I am seeing a lot of example code where the first closure (whileFunction) 
is simply true: 
g.v(1).inE('child').filter{TextAnalysis.isMean(it.thinks)}.outV.loop(3){true}
 
Since the while closure determines when the loop will be stopped, in this 
case, does this mean we will end up with an infinite loop? In other words, 
if we set the whileFunction closure to always return TRUE, will gremlin 
know when to stop, or will he just keep traversing (looping) until the end 
of time?
 
Cheers :)
