Yes, I think it is. But (ideally) simpexpt would simplify exp(-inf) to 0; 
it would be
redundant for mnqp to trap this case. I suppose my proposed meqp-by-csign 
should look 
for things like inf ^ x. Currently, we get an asksign:

(%i1) is(equal(inf^x,0));
Is  x   positive, negative, or zero? pos;
(%o1) false
