Haskell doesn't know much about infinity, but Haskell implementations are allowed to use IEEE floating point which has infinity. And to get things right, there needs to be a few changes to the library to do the right thing for certain numbers, this is not news. In fact I filed a bug report a while back about it.
It's news to me that the IEEE floating point standard defines infinity. (NaN I knew about...)
