How would you feel about adding the following special floats, in order to cover for all possible IEEE values? Positive infinity: [ .inf, +.inf ] Negative infinity: -.inf Not a number: .nan This may be very useful for people doing snapshots of numeric computations etc. (no, not every occurrence of .inf or .nan necessarily indicates a flawed computation). Thoughts? Have fun, Oren Ben-Kiki |
