The only limit that was and still is there is against too many recursive
calls to the interpreter (html event->js->html->js->...). I'll try to
think of something for internal recursions. But I wouldn't know what to
really do against infinite loops like while(1);. They can be by design and
harmless but there is no way to abort them, yet. Easier with threading.
