Previously retryUntil would throw a StackOverflowException if the generator failed too many times. It's not obvious to users that the problem is their generator and/or predicate. This commit replaces this implicit depth limit with an explicit cutoff after 10000 tries (along with a custom Exception). It also provides a two-argument variant of retryUntil that allows the user to specify how many tries are allowed. This change should improve the situation in typelevel#232.

Thanks! Much better than risking stack overflows |
