Zero and Infinity have special representations outside the valid range
of exponents.  See the IEEE-754 spec for details, but specifically,
+1.0, -1.0 and +0 have well-defined binary representations in memory.

In any case, _is_identity() and _is_translation() are used to quickly
identify common cases which can be handled more efficiently than a full
generic transform.  It's possible to fool them, but the possible
implications are only for performance and not for correctness.
