Hi,

I noticed this question in gis.stackexchange 
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/305641/gdal-doesnt-create-contours-for-the-whole-raster?noredirect=1#comment493737_305641
 and now I wonder


1)      If gdalinfo reports NoData Value=3.4028234663852886e+38, why 
gdal_contour does not accept the value as -snodata but user needs to know to 
use "inf"?

2)      If user asks gdal_contour to create intervals of 1 m from 20 to 
3.4028234663852886e+38, wouldn't it be better to ask "Are you sure?" or error 
out before starting a process that will for sure fail? I guess that in most 
cases users do not really want more than 1000 contour levels.
