The model field reference documentation doesn't mention that, in a
FloatField, the values must pass `math.isfinite`. This excludes
`float('inf')` (positive and negative) and `float('nan')`. I saw old
discussion about why this is the case, but only after being bitten by it
in a project. I'd like to submit a patch adding this info to the docs.
