Disable looping playback

This is very old request,
While its simple enough to use a python script to stop playback on the end frame, it really should be built-in. For some reason its often overlooked or hidden in video software too, whats with that? it becomes frustrating to play the last few seconds of animation and have it jump back to the start, particularly when caching simulations. I'd be happy to see looping as a checkbox in playback settings.

Unfortunately hitting bake can be a bit crashy (that's a different issue) and 'cache to frame' always starts from the first frame. Disabling looping would allow an approach to baking (dynamic paint, hair etc.) that serves making refinements. But when looping, the cache is completely cleared once it bounces back.

Another use case scenario: Your presenting a work in progress, to your client or boss informally by hitting play and your grand ending is spoiled by your grand opening.
