Is there any way of defining an infinity constant in modules?

The module source contains a constant of 99999.0^99999.0, but when compiled as a module it's converted to 1.#INF#

The 1.#INF# won't compile when using the above module giving a compiler error in the preprocessed .i file...

Compile Error: Invalid import identifier: '.'

Any solutions, other than defining the constant in every program that uses the module?

You can calculate it with local old_i,i = 1 while i*2 > i i:*2;old_i = i wend local infinity = old_i

Difference
