Comment(by andrea):

 Replying to [comment:4 nickm]:
 > My rationale there was that it was better to terminate the loop in any
 outside function than to let it go on.  But I guess we could let it go on
 here, since if we got the same node the next time, the using_as_guard flag
 would keep us from yielding it then?

 That sounds fine to me; merge away.
