exceptional cases
Subclasses of NUMERIC can have problems with contracts of features and invariants in special cases. Therefore a query like 'is_exceptional' could be introduced to make contracts conditional in respect to these special cases.
Special cases include:
- REAL.NaN (all operations)
- REAL.INF (all operations)
- INTEGER.min_value (when computing the absolute value an overflow occurs and the result is min_value again)
