\brief A very simple example of using non_finite_num facet for
trapping output of infinity and/or NaNs.

\note To actually get an exception throw by the iostream library
one must enable exceptions.
  `oss.exceptions(std::ios_base::failbit | std::ios_base::badbit);`
\note Which bit is set is implementation dependent, so enable exceptions for both.

This is a fairly brutal method of catching nonfinites on output,
but may suit some applications.
