seconds=Inf does not work

[gdalle]

Is it possible to have unlimited seconds?

Sure! That seems like a reasonable thing to support (and arguably a bug to not support).

If you specify seconds=Inf and don't also specify both evals and samples then that should error telling you it would hang.

No actually I get the same rather obscure error:

"should" means I should make it happen.

[gdalle]

I have complete faith in you :)

• A very high, non-Inf value also causes overflow
• Overflow could occur if time_ns() reports a value close to typemax(UInt64), which it totally could according to its docstring.
