It is not clear to me from the project plan why `Infinities.Infinity` is replacing `Infinity.Infinity`, not `RealInfinity(true)`.

That said, what I really need for TransformVariables is a distinct _positive_ and _negative_ “infinity” type, ideally available with `∞` and `-∞`, that I can dispatch on so that `TransformVariables.as` is type stable.
