I make calculations on elliptic curves on finite fields.
In elliptic curves exists so-called "point in infinity".

This is how I noticed this problem.

The reason for these results, dating from very early days and old old
versions, is that there are no rational or extended integer infinities.  In
float F rat (or rat F float), the rule is to convert the rat into a float,
and then apply the F.  Therefore the results in your message are "correct".

Hi!

Min and Max function makes unnecessary conversion of type when compared to
infinity and loses significant information.

Example:

Should be:

Nice day!
