Replying to [comment:4 bacek]:
> Branch (misnamed) tt24_unicode_numification) ready for merge. Only one
concern: we never declared format for "NaN", "Inf" and "-Inf". Old version
based on atof supported some bizzare variants like " nAn", " inF" and "
InFiNity". Version in branch support only canonical "Inf", "-Inf" and
"NaN". Question is - should I mimic atof behaviour or we can declare
standard format for it?
>
the canonical representation for NaN and Inf are 'NaN' and 'Inf'. other
variants of capitalization or spelling are not valid; they must be
converted to the format above. don't mimic the old atof behavior.
