I Need a Name for a Method . . . Better than All-You-Can-Eat

[jehugaleahsa@gmail.com]

Hello:

I need a method that always returns the default value. It is similar
to DefaultIfEmpty.

public static IEnumerable<TMy MethodName<T>()
{
while (true)
{
yield return default(T);
}
}

Any ideas? Anything will do. Don't ask me why this is useful . . . it
just is. :-)

This is just a special case of

public static IEnumerable<TRe peat<T>(T t) {
while (true) {
yield return t;
}
}

"Repeat" is the name Haskell uses for the function that creates an infinite
list of copies of its argument.

It's the noise they make on TV shows after some tells a really bad joke.
