Comment (by tscrim):

 I don't like this change:
 {{{#!diff
 +        elif isinstance(x,
 sage.rings.real_mpfi.RealIntervalFieldElement):
 +            if x.upper().is_infinity() or x.lower().is_infinity():
                  return self.gen()
 }}}
 since `RIF(0, oo)` gets turned into infinity (where is very likely to not
 be):
 {{{
 sage: UnsignedInfinityRing(RIF(2, oo))
 Infinity
 }}}
 I think we should follow the usual paradigm for RIF:
 {{{
 sage: RIF(2, 4) == 4
 False
 sage: RIF(2, 4) <= 4
 True
 sage: RIF(2, 4) < 4
 False
 sage: RIF(2) == 2
 True
 }}}
 So I would say this is wrong:
 {{{
 sage: RIF(2, oo) == oo
 True
 }}}
 and I would raise an error anytime we're converting something which is not
 directly equal to a (signed) infinity. For example:
 {{{
 sage: UnsignedInfinityRing(RIF(2, oo))
 Infinity
 }}}
 should raise an error, but this would be okay:
 {{{
 sage: UnsignedInfinityRing(RIF(oo, oo))
 Infinity
 }}}
