Well, at least the behavior would be a bit closer to the docs:
However, GNU `sleep' accepts arbitrary floating point numbers.
Otherwise, we'd at least have to
s/arbitrary/non-negative and positive-infinite/.
Still, [-]NaN is never supported - neither direct nor as a result
from "-inf inf".
Have a nice day,
