We currently use infinity in multiple places in the standard library, it become a defacto standard in the ecosystem. I think that when passing :infinity to enumerable.take this should make it a noop.
Example: list |> Enum.take(:infinity) would return the same list.
I'm working on a custom inspect function and I see that limit is either an integer or :infinity. I'm currently using Stream module to process the inspected value to pretty print it and I need conditionally add logic to handle infinity.

Use `Enum.to_list/1`, it does exactly this.
