Hi All,
I think there may be some possible confusion about what allowsInf would be
reporting (or maybe its just me :) ) if we did this.
Consider a class "myclass", S3, for starters,
with
setMethod("allowsInf", "myclass", function(obj) FALSE)
Then, what would

I can imagine a class, "TemperatureKelvins", that wraps a double but would
have a range of 0 to Inf or one called "GymnasticsScore" with a range of 0
to 10. For those sorts of things it would be nice to have a generic that
gave the possible min and max for the class inste

It seems like the main problem is that `is.numeric(x)` isn't fully
indicative of whether or not `is.finite(x)` makes sense for `x` (i.e.
Date isn't numeric but does allow infinite dates).
So I could also imagine a new `allows.infinite()` S3 generic that
would return a single TRUE/FALSE for whether

Martin,
Yes, I missed that those have `Summary.*` methods, thanks!
Tweaking those to respect `finite = TRUE` sounds great. It seems like
it might be a little tricky since the Summary methods call
`NextMethod()`, and `range.default()` uses `is.numeric()` to determine
whether or not to apply `finit

Well, I think it would / s
A tiny nit-pick nit-pick: I'd take NA to mean the finish date is missing
and you know neither whether the event has finished or if it has
finished at all :-)
Either way the proposed method seems sensible.

A tiny nit-pick: Seems to me that end date = NA would mean the event has
not yet ended, whilst Inf would mean that the event is known to never
terminate, ie: an eternal fact, or physical law.
