Personally, I don't think of the extremes as +infinity or -infinity; readers
of this list will notice that I always refer to them as "supremum" and
"infemum."  I also avoid calling them "maximum" and "minimum" because it can
be argued that the supremum and the infemum are both maxima and that 0 is the
minimum.  [Please note that "infemum" is etymologically connected to
"inferior," not to "infinite."]

It's left as an exercise to the bored to determine which procmail score values
are the optimum and the pessimum.
