float.max + 1.0 does not overflow

[rumbu via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Is that normal?

use std.math;
float f = float.max;
f += 1.0;
assert(IeeeFlags.overflow) //failure
assert(f == float.inf) //failure, f is in fact float.max
On the contrary, float.max + float.max will overflow. The 
behavior is the same for double and real.
