This unearthed a "bug": -1e309 does not fit in a dfloat,
it prints as -Inf.

In practice, the universe of discourse of x is bounded [xmin, xmax].
I use normalized univers of discours [-1, 1].
So to get neg_big I just use a big value (absolute value) for the
parameter a (for example: -1e6)
-1e6 -1e 0e  tri_mf: neg_big
-1e   0e 1e6 tri_mf: pos_big
and this gives: x is between -2e and 2e for example
    neg_big(x) equals approximately 1 for all x less than -1.
    pos_big(x) equals approximately 1 for all x greater than 1.
So I don't use 1e309 or -1e309.
