Re: Bounded and floating types

Currently Float & Double do not have standard Bounded instances. Is there any reason not to use the following?

instance Bounded Float where { minBound = -1/0; maxBound = 1/0 } instance Bounded Double where { minBound = -1/0; maxBound = 1/0 }

by the way, that minBound definition is (negate(1/0)), not ((negate 1) / 0) ... although that probably doesn't make a difference Isaac
