Is Sage's unsigned_infinity intended to model complex infinity?

Well, you can compactify a line
- into a segment by adding two points (-oo, +oo),
- into a circle by adding one point (oo).
 
Think of slopes of lines through the origin
in the plane RR^2; the vertical line has slope oo.

To me, unsigned_infinity could refer to that,
and could be unrelated to complex infinity.
