I am positing that Python should contain a constant (similar to True, False, None), called Infinity.
What if we created a new syntax [and used it for the repr] that is not currently a valid identifier?
something like "1.INF"
if we were starting from scratch, that would be a good idea, but as the repr has been consistent for quite some timem I dont think we want to change it. And we do want teh names to match the repr
And I'd maybe go with .INF. :-)
Another point is that these are not going to be singletons, like True, False and None -- they are just floats that happen to have particular values.
