New submission from Sree <sree...@gmail.com>:
float.hex(float.fromhex("-nan")) returns 'nan'.
PyOS_double_to_string seems to check only if it is a NaN, but ignores the sign
(unlike its handling of inf a few lines below):
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e9e7d284c434768333fdfb53a3663eae74cb995a/Python/pystrtod.c#L903>
Issue 5981 (https://bugs.python.org/issue5981) added the ability for fromhex to
recognize -nan, but hex should probably have been updated at the same time.
Encountered when testing float implementations.
