Comment:

 I fixed CC. As to whether it should be a signed or unsigned infinity, I
 went with unsigned because it has a simple pole there.

 {{{
 10000.5772229475
 sage: zeta(.9999)
 -9999.42279161783
 }}}

 When the new mpmath gets released, we could open a ticket with timings and
 accuracy comparison. Generally we favor correctness over speed.
