Yes, I implemented a timeout of just a few seconds (7s, I think). 
It's short so that it doesn't take too long to test with all the 
compiler versions. I actually tested that the template recursion 
is limited (500) but not CTFE (at least in my check of that it 
was still executing after about 15 minutes). That's also why 
there is already a test called "infinite CTFE", I wanted to make 
sure that a DOS could not be achieved with a single test case 
(but is still easy at the moment, since I don't have rate 
limiting ;))
