I think these functions are a bit silly. It is confusing to have both NaN and nan exported, and now that you can write T(Inf) it is not that useful to have inf(T).

Didn't you just deprecate oftype?

Nooo, I deprecated the form of oftype that's exactly equivalent to convert. Now oftype always means convert(typeof(x),y).

Ah, I see. Carry on then.
