How should the IEEE system be extended to the complex plane,
anyway? If we look at the problem in terms of the cartesian
representation, we may want four infinities, namely:
infinity + i * infinity
-infinity + i * infinity
infinity - i * infinity
-infinity - i * infinity
Sorry, that would be eight. I forgot
infinity
-infinity
i * infinity
-i * infinity
which seems to be what the comparison page calls for.
