Note that we currently can't represent +-inf or +-max, as we only have two
endpoints.  So that would just be represented as VARYING.

This seems reasonable.  So instead of set_varying(), we could do [+max, +inf],
etc.

That seems easy to get wrong, especially this late in the cycle.

NANs are never singletons, and maybe_nans either.  See frange::singleton_p:

  if (m_kind == VR_RANGE && real_identical (&m_min, &m_max))
    {
      // Return false for any singleton that may be a NAN.
      if (HONOR_NANS (m_type) && maybe_isnan ())
        return false;
...
    }

Also, all the conditional operators in frange fail to fold if maybe_isnan.  The
only things we fold for sure are:

a) One operand is a known NAN.

b) None of the operands can ever be a NAN *and* we know the answer to the
conditional.

For example, foperator_gt::fold_range:

...
...
  if (op1.known_isnan () || op2.known_isnan ())
    r = range_false (type);
  else if (!maybe_isnan (op1, op2))
    {
      if (real_compare (LE_EXPR, &op1.upper_bound (), &op2.lower_bound ()))
        r = range_true (type);
      else if (!real_compare (LE_EXPR, &op1.lower_bound (), &op2.upper_bound
()))
        r = range_false (type);
      else
        r = range_true_and_false (type);
    }

so... we're pretty careful about NOT folding relationals that have the
possibility of a NAN, and a singleton is only for a known range without a NAN.
