I recommend you look up the definition of "infinite" in a dictionary of
your choice.

Anyway, that does not count, since we are going to turn on this
functionality for all functions inside of Emacs where it makes sense.

So the question is whether there exists a reason for a user to turn it
off for any of the functions getting the interactive call/spec from us.
If there isn't, there is no need to provide an "easy" way beside the
proper one to fudge something on/off.
