We are actually quite careful in this regard but maybe our reasoning
is wrong.  We are allowing inlining of -fno-finite-math-only into
-ffinite-math-only code but not the other way around.

On the actual patch I think that ranges with Inf/NaNs should be always
treated as "valid", the optimization to trim them with certain options
is optimization and thus optional.  So IMHO having verify_range ICE
on NaNs isn't correct?

That said, the patch is in line with what we do elsewhere at the moment,
so I guess OK.
