 Review comment:
   IMO some users might think `inf` is more common, e.g., even in python, both 
`inf` and `infinity` can be used;
   ```
   Python 3.6.8 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Dec 29 2018, 19:04:46) 
   >>> float('inf')
   inf
   >>> float('infinity')
   inf
   ```
   Its ok to wait for other reviewer's comments. @gatorsmile @dongjoon-hyun
