Hi, there.

Since in float8 you can use '+inf', '+infinity', So should we also make interval '+infinity' valid?
Also in timestamp. '+infinity'::timestamp is invalid, should we make it valid.

In float8, select float8 'inf' / float8 'inf' return NaN. Now in your patch  select interval 'infinity' / float8 'infinity'; returns infinity.


  I recommend David Deutsch's <<The Beginning of Infinity>>
