Did not realize that 0 * Infinity is NaN. Anyone know why that wouldn't be expected to be 0?

0 * x = 0, Infinity * x = Infinity -- who wins? NaN it.

x already has additional bounds in the infinity case though. Could just as easily be Infinity * x = Infinity when finite, nonzero

Interesting that in my head, there was a clear winner in this case, but the 0/0 == NaN was fine even though it's identical rules
