We certainly don't need minf, and the user's view of the system would be
cleaner without it.
Removing it should be fairly straightforward, because a grep should catch
everywhere it is used (except for users' load files). Are you volunteering
to do it?
Not sure that it has a lot of value to do this, though. I'd think that far
higher value would be fixing such things as inf-inf => 0, inf/inf => 1,
0*inf => 0, is(2*inf > inf) => true, etc. But more work, too.
Any particular reason you're bringing this up now?
