Where it stands:

Infinity can be represented in IEEE floating point numbers.

Infinity can be represented in Ruby, as evidenced by
>> (1.0/0.0).infinite?
=> 1

Infinity can be represented in sqlite (and probably other databases):
  sqlite> select * from test_recs;
  1|Inf|

Yet it appears that there's no portable way to store a Ruby infinity in
a database using AR.  Does anyone disagree?
