\brief A fairly simple example of using non_finite_num facet for
C99 standard output of infinity and NaN.

\detail  This program illustrates how to use the
 `boost/math/nonfinite_num_facets.hpp' material from the original
  Floating Point  Utilities contribution by Johan Rade.
  Floating Point Utility library has been accepted into Boost,
  but the utilities have been/will be incorporated into Boost.Math library.

  Based on an example from Francois Mauger.

  Double and float variables are assigned ordinary finite values (pi),
  and nonfinite like infinity and NaN.

  These values are then output and read back in, and then redisplayed.
