No, its just old code that was using the former isfinitef macro which no 
longer exists.  I do not advise using the mathfp code which you can only 
use by specifying a configuration option.  It has been proven to be 
inaccurate compared to the regular math versions due to the series 
algorithms used.

I have fixed the reference nonetheless.
