 Extension Modules
 -----------------
 
+- Add new function math.isfinite, to round out existing functions
+  math.isinf and math.isnan.
+
 - In the math module, correctly lookup __trunc__, __ceil__, and __floor__ as
   special methods.

+   Return :const:`True` if *x* is neither an infinity nor a nan, and

 .. function:: isinf(x)
 
    Check if the float *x* is positive or negative infinity.
