That's shorthand for the long form I used later: "depending on
variable environment state" (such as encodings, user id, or sunspot
activity). Should have done it in the opposite order, sorry.
Also, I'd like to note that "inf" and "-inf" (and "nan" for that
matter) are not "informal". They are readable input, part of Python
syntax:
% python3.8
Python 3.8.2 (default, Feb 27 2020, 19:58:50)
>>> float("inf")
inf
>>> float("-inf")
-inf
>>>
