The added functionality seems fine, given what that function does already. But, a question for those who have seen its API put in place: What is the rationale behind replacing infinities, when the function is called `nan_to_num`? Also, this odd part of the docstring: *NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic** * *(IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.** * The meaning of this note isn't clear to me. Why would the reader suspect that Not a Number is equivalent to infinity? Do we detail somewhere how NaN's vs infinities typically arise in code? Stéfan
