 This is related to #8942. The limit function can output either
 {{{+Infinity}}}, {{{-Infinity}}}, or {{{Infinity}}}, the later
 meaning a complex infinity. For example:
 {{{
 sage: limit(1/x, x=0, dir='above')
 +Infinity
 sage: limit(1/x, x=0, dir='below')
 -Infinity
 sage: limit(1/x, x=0)
 Infinity
 }}}
 However Sage does not distinguish {{{+Infinity}}} and {{{Infinity}}}:
 {{{
 sage: l1=limit(1/x, x=0, dir='above')
 sage: l2=limit(1/x, x=0, dir='below')
 sage: l3=limit(1/x, x=0)
 sage: l1==l3
 True
 }}}
