Remember that INF is by definition larger than any number.
This is useful for ensuring that an array passed to min() has at least one element (the function
doesn't like empty arrays), and for keeping running minima (it provides a starting value that
is guaranteed to be replaced by the first value in the sequence).
PHP_INT_MAX works if the numbers are all less than PHP_INT_MAX, but most doubles aren't.
