Ah. Examining unfoldr, I see I was making it too complicated. I was 
trying to figure out how to make "while" (or "until") take two lambdas, 
one for the condition, one for the "body" of the loop. Much easier to 
just have the one function return whether to keep iterating.

Now I can easily say things like "keep prompting and reading a line 
until the user actually types an integer."
