New submission from Mark Dickinson:
[Broken out of the issue 16469 discussion about infinity -> Fraction and nan ->
Fraction conversions.]
Conversions from float('inf') or Decimal('inf') to int (or Fraction) currently
generate an OverflowError, while conversions from nan give a ValueError. I'm
of the opinion that it would make more sense for both conversions to generate
ValueError, and I'm opening this issue to track discussion for that. There's
also a reasonable case that the behaviour is fine as it is, and there's little
to be gained by changing it.
