Ah, I had not thought to look at fmod().  I see that POSIX treats
x-is-infinite the same as y-is-zero: raise EDOM and return NaN.
I think it's okay to deviate to the extent of throwing an error in
one case and returning NaN in the other, but I added a comment
noting the difference.

Works for me; that's easier anyway.

The attached v3 patch fixes these things and also takes care of an
oversight in v2: I'd made numeric() apply typmod restrictions to Inf,
but not numeric_in() or numeric_recv().  I believe the patch itself
is in pretty good shape now, though there are still some issues
elsewhere as noted in the first message in this thread.

Thanks for reviewing!
