As a spelling of "infinity" generically, or just as an example of an
"arithmetic operation"?

On the latter, I didn't use that just because it feels sort of like a
"cheat" rather than an "operation."  I.e. my longer example started out
with some "reasonable" numbers, but wound up tripping into inf and nan.
