Comment (by cblp):

 Infinity is not representable in Int. Maybe maxBound is the closest
 answer, and they both must return maxBound, maybe they both must throw an
 exception. I don't know the precise answer.

 But I know they must return the same value, or it must be documented as
 undefined behaviour. Currently this rule is invalid.
