Description:        infinity arithmetic errors
Details:

Hi,

I was able to store in tables Infinity values. The problem arise when I try
to add something there, when I end up with an error:

ERROR:  type "double precision" value out of range: overflow

I'd like to suggest to allow for the usual:
Inf+number=Inf
Inf-number=Inf
Inf*number=Inf
Inf/number=Inf
number/Inf=0 ...

Thanks,

Sorin Schwimmer
