Treat a sequence as a circular sequence

Create a circular (repeating) sequence from an input sequence, optionally limiting the total number of elements.

 1: 
 2: 
 3: 
 4: 
 5: 
 6: 
 7: 
 8: 
 9: 
10: 
11: 

    // Make the supplied sequence appear circular but with
    // at most 'n' elements, n = -1 elicits infinite repetition.
    let circular n s =
        let rec circularize s = 
            seq {
                yield! s
                yield! circularize s
                }
        match n with
        | -1 -> circularize s
        | _  -> circularize s |> Seq.truncate n
val circular : n:int -> s:seq<'a> -> seq<'a>
