Description: The extended real number structure. Unlike df-cnfld , the extended
real numbers do not have good algebraic properties, so this is not
actually a group or anything higher, even though it has just as many
operations as df-cnfld . The main interest in this structure is in
its ordering, which is complete and compact. The metric described here
is an extension of the absolute value metric, but it is not itself a
metric because +oo is infinitely far from all other points. The
topology is based on the order and not the extended metric (which would
make +oo an isolated point since there is nothing else in the 1
-ball around it). All components of this structure agree with CCfld
when restricted to RR . (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 20-Aug-2015)
