Issue 17822: Unlimited Natural (uml25-ftf)

Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: 'unlimited' is called 'infinity' in UML 2.4, 'unlimited' in OCL, 'unbounded' in Section 21.The comment that 'unlimited' is not 'infinity' does not make any sense to me. If it is unlimited then any value from 0 all the way to infinity is permissible, so the upper bound is indeed infinity.

Suggest the mathematically consistent 'infinity' and remove the note.
