When computing the limit of a function I don't quite seem to be getting the 
behaviour that I expected.

---
sage: f(x) = 1 / x
sage: print f.limit(x=0)
sage: print f.limit(x=0, dir='minus')
---

The first limit returns infinity, but I would expect it to return that the 
limit is not defined. The second (directional) limit confirms this (it 
returns -infinity). I was assuming that the default 'direction' for a limit 
is None and that a two directional limit would be computed (which in this 
case does not exist). Here's some of the help file that shows why I am 
perhaps confused:

---
INPUT:
 
- ``dir`` - (default: None); dir may have the value
  'plus' (or '+' or 'right') for a limit from above,
  'minus' (or '-' or 'left') for a limit from below, or may be omitted
  (implying a two-sided limit is to be computed).
---

If anyone could clarify this I'd appreciate it.
