Looking at this again, I don't like my solution. I think it would be better to fix Py_IS_INFINITY directly, putting all the complication into one place; then users of Py_IS_INFINITY don't have to spend time worrying about whether they should be calling Py_FORCE_DOUBLE or not. The fixed Py_IS_INFINITY will likely be slower, but this only matters on platforms that don't provide isinf, isnan; it seems that Solaris is the only such platform in common use.
