While I can't imagine many people would stumble over this (as apparently there was no bug report) it could be a tricky one if you're not extra paranoid when working with INF, I don't think it's worth changing this behaviour so long after 5.6.0 was released. Good that it's fixed in 7 though. It should absolutely be documented (and I still can't fathom why searching for INF on the website only gives me function results and not a direct hit for a 1:1 match on a pre-defined constant in core, but let's not start this discussion.)
