I like that divide by Zero now throws an exception, however returning 3 different possible values
seem's incredibly wrong.
Why not simply NaN and 3 slightly different exceptions? That seems like the way most people would
use this (if it gets used at all). I don't think anyone is ever planning on operating with
NaN/INF+/INF- variables and if they are testing, they are likely testing for all 3 at the same time.
However, we may want to use a different error based on those results.
Isn't this is a fairly significant tangent away from other similar languages?
