Description
Hello,
Could it be possible to add an option to restore an old ab-loop behavior please?
I mean: unset --ab-loop-a implies the start of the file while unset --ab-loop-b implies the end of the file.
Let's wait the end of media file to set the implied missing a/b. Of course, do nothing is neither a nor b exists.
NB : I think an option/setting here would be adequate since everyone doesn't want it necessarily.
Thanks in advance :)

Research direction
Start by locating the handling of --ab-loop-a and --ab-loop-b in the mpv source and check whether related option tests or documentation exist. Trace how unset loop points are handled when media reaches its end. Done means an explicit setting restores the requested defaults without changing behavior when neither point is provided.
