[Scheme-reports] More NaN and Infsanity

[Peter Bex <Peter.Bex@x>]

Hi all,

I'm confused about the behaviour of some procedures with respect
to NaN and infinity.  In the report it's explicitly stated that the
comparison functions >, <, =, >= and <= should all return #f if any
of their arguments are +nan.0 but what should min and max return?

For example (max +inf.0 +nan.0), should this return +inf.0 (which
is the biggest number possible), or should it return +nan.0?

What should the value of the various trig functions be given nan/inf
values?

Cheers,
Peter
