ECMA Section: 15.8.2.18 tan( x )
Description: return an approximation to the tan of the
argument. argument is expressed in radians
special cases:
- if x is NaN result is NaN
- if x is 0 result is 0
- if x is -0 result is -0
- if x is Infinity or -Infinity result is NaN

/*
Arctan (x) ~ PI/2 - 1/x for large x. For x = 1.6x10^16, 1/x is about the last binary digit of double precision PI/2.
That is to say, perturbing PI/2 by this much is about the smallest rounding error possible.
This suggests that the answer Christine is getting and a real Infinity are "adjacent" results from the tangent function. I
suspect that tan (PI/2 + one ulp) is a negative result about the same size as tan (PI/2) and that this pair are the closest
results to infinity that the algorithm can deliver.
In any case, my call is that the answer we're seeing is "right". I suggest the test pass on any result this size or larger.
