Generally, the values in the value space of float and double are ordinary
numbers.  There are five values that are, to most people's understanding,
not ordinary numbers.  (They might or might not consider the two zeros
to be numbers, but probably not "ordinary".)  Things in a value space are
called "values"; these are values that are not "ordinary numbers".  Yes,
they are constants (as are a number of things that aren't members of
value spaces).
