Actually, after staring at those results awhile longer, I decided
they were wrong. The results shown here seem actually sane ---
for instance, -Infinity shouldn't "infinitely precede" itself,
I think. (Maybe if you got solipsistic enough you could argue
that that is valid, but it seems pretty bogus.)
Hmm, that code looks a bit fishy to me, but I really need to think about it some more. I'll take another look tomorrow, and maybe it'll become clearer.
