This came up in [a matplotlib 
issue](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/5221):

>>> np.histogram(np.arange(10), range=(0.0, np.inf))
(array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]),
 array([ nan,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf,  inf]))

>>> np.histogram(np.arange(10), range=(0.0, np.nan))
(array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]),
 array([ nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan,  nan]))

Clearly the behavior is undefined for those arguments, but perhaps there should 
be an assertion that the given range must be finite?  Happy to make a PR for 
this.
