------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 boost::math::tr1::nextafter(inf, 0) should yield the maximum value, yet it
 yields nan instead.

 I think it would be a good idea to make it work like this directly
 boost::math::nextafter.

 Attached is a testcase that demonstrates the problem (requires a C99
 standard library for comparison).
