16.2.19: #INFTY

On computers that comply with the IEEE 754-1985 standard for binary representation of floating-point numbers, floating-point divisions of positive numbers by zero yield Inf (positive infinity). On such computers, this value is returned by #INFTY. On computers that do not allow floating-point division by zero, #INFTY returns the greatest representable FLOAT number, #MAX_FLOAT.
