[ruby-core:96011] [Ruby master Bug#16366] .count on endless range causes infinite loop

Issue #16366 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


`Enumerable#count` should aware of interrupts. Besides this case, `#count` should return `Infinity` (we may need to define `Range#count`).

----------------------------------------
Out of curiosity, I tried:

``` ruby
(1..).count
```

Which resulted in an unkillable 100% CPU irb session. 

I expected either an exception or maybe `Infinity`

Thanks
