Description

According to the EasyLanguage Essentials manual (page 50), TradeStation has a keyword to detect infinite while loops, and give an runtime error after 30 seconds of being stuck in such a loop:
   [InfiniteLoopDetect = True];
In most case, this isn't a problem since the for loop is an alternative, but in some cases a for loop can't be used. It would then be very handy if we can check for inifinte loops and force MultiCharts to break out of it, especially with user input that might cause this loop.

Steps to reproduce this issue

[InfiniteLoopDetect = True];
Variables:
    x(0);
   
while (x < 10) begin
    Print("The value of x is: ", x);
end;
x = x + 1;        // Whoops!
