Description: Define plus infinity.
Note that the definition is arbitrary, requiring
only that  be
a set not in  and
different from 
(df-mnf 6847). We use    to make it
independent of the
construction of ,
and Cantor's Theorem will show that it is
different from any member of and therefore . See pnfnre 6855,
mnfnre 6856, and pnfnemnf 6895.
