## Description

This class is used internally in counted date/time representations. It adds the floating point like features of infinities and not a number. It also provides mathmatical operations with consideration to special values following these rules:

      +infinity  -  infinity  == Not A Number (NAN)
       infinity  *  non-zero  == infinity
       infinity  *  zero      == NAN
      +infinity  * -integer   == -infinity
       infinity  /  infinity  == NAN
       infinity  *  infinity  == infinity
     *

18.     int_adapter operator-(const int_type rhs) const;

19.     int_adapter operator*(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

20.     int_adapter operator*(const int rhs) const;

    Provided for cases when automatic conversion from 'int' to 'int_adapter' causes incorrect results.

22.     int_adapter operator/(const int rhs) const;

    Provided for cases when automatic conversion from 'int' to 'int_adapter' causes incorrect results.

23.     int_adapter operator%(const int_adapter & rhs) const;

24.     int_adapter operator%(const int rhs) const;
