Just idle speculation - would there be any practical use of redefining zero as the following -
1. Real zero value itself is a discontinuity in the number line
2. For practical purposes positive zero is the smallest possible positive floating point number we can assign
3. Negative zero is just the largest posible negative floating point number we can assign.
I am sure that this might be quite stupid in several ways, but my maths education was a long while back, so please excuse in advance.
