I don't see why it would be guarded against, sometimes we want things
to overflow when modeling a particular other thing.
I am not sure about any particular case to intend overflowing the call stack, but here is to threshold the recursive looking up to 100 or something - note that __index can be a function that does anything, a.k.a. unavoidable infinite loop.
