Note that Python has no intentional support for Infs and 
NaNs anywhere; even that float('inf') doesn't blow up when 
you do it is a platform accident (it blows up ("invalid 
literal") on my box).

Given that, in the absence of a comprehensive plan for 
supporting this stuff across the board, and worker bees to 
implement it, I downgraded the priority.  A good plan would 
refactor the code so that dealing with the platform double 
and float formats occurs in only one place.
