RS 2007-02-23: Inf is for infinity. From Tcl 8.5 it is a valid double (though not integer) value, as these experiments in an 8.5a4 tclkit show:
(bin) 3 % set x [expr 1/0.]
Inf
(bin) 4 % expr $x+1
Inf
(bin) 5 % expr $x*$x
Inf
(bin) 6 % expr $x-$x
domain error: argument not in valid range
(bin) 7 % expr -$x
-Inf
(bin) 8 % expr -$x+$x
domain error: argument not in valid range
(bin) 9 % expr {$x+1 == $x}
1LV Besides expr. where else does a Tcl programmer need to worry about Inf (or NaN for that matter?)
