This now says:

11:45 < [Coke]> m: Inf.base(16)
11:45 <+camelia> rakudo-moar 617bb4: OUTPUT«Earlier failure:␤ Cannot coerce Inf
                 or NaN to an Int␤  in block <unit> at /tmp/NXJAFvBkuW line

11:45 < [Coke]> m: NaN.base(16)

Which seems reasonable based on previous discussion about attempting to use non 
Int sentinel values as Ints.

Closable, I think.
