I think you are over-complicating this, AND ignoring what the IEEE-754 standard says about this.
if NaN is passed in as a limit, it's probably a error of some sort
That's not what the standard says. The standard says NAN as a limit should be treated as "no limit".
And you have inf and -inf if you do want "no limit"
That will still apply. You can also pass 1.7976931348623157E+308, the largest possible float. (If we're talking about float arguments -- for int and Decimal, you can easily exceed that.) -- Steve
