There is no loop per se. #nextObject will always point to a newer object than self. If we, at some point send
#nextObject to a newly created object, like in the case of a materialized proxy, this newly created object is already
newer than the sentinel and the chain will never point back to before the sentinel. So once #nextObject gets sent to the
newer object, it will only follow the chain of objects that are even newer than the former proxy, which is a finite
bunch, and when we reach the newest of the bunch it will return 0.
