At least it is a documentation bug. Documentation says disc is another 'finite'
but considering discussed design it is infinite and it is simple to show it
with:

#include "strings"
#local P=rgb 1;
#local At=-y;
#while(P.gray=1)
  #local P=eval_pigment(pigment{object{disc{0 y 1}color rgb 0 color rgb 1}},At);
  #local At=At-y;
  #debug concat(CRGBStr(P, 0, -1),"\n")
#end
