I'm not sure we want to even support machines that do not have a
concept of infinity; certainly simply treating 1.0e+INF as a symbol in
that case would be confusing?
Which non-IEEE_FLOATING_POINT targets are there? I'm not defining
IEEE_FLOATING_POINT for the SpiderMonkey thing, but I do want
infinities.
