[PD] [iir] doesn't handle nan, -inf, inf and very small numbers well

[Charles Henry]

Some of my [fexpr~ ] IIR constructions have the same problem...  but
as mentioned before, there's a if(isnan($y), 0, $y) way to do that.
Perhaps.... you don't want to default the nan filtering to go to 0.
It could sound glitchy, and introduce clicks.  Maybe there's a better
way to get continuity.
