Subject: How to query FLT_MAX from Ruby code?

I hope I'm not setting myself up for a Doh! moment...

Is there some way to determine (from Ruby code) the minimum and maximum 
limits for Ruby Floats (i.e. along the lines of the C constants FLT_MIN, 
FLT_MAX, DBL_MIN and DBL_MAX from the <limits.h> header file)?
