I believe it's HUGE_VAL (the largest finite value) ... which is
something I don't want to explicitly test for, any more than I liked
the explicit use of min/max values before. Your

No objection to that, just don't take out the ERANGE test altogether

because the sign computation isn't 100%, think pow(-1e30
