Log:
Document the different meaning of precision for {:f} and {:g}.
Also document how inf and nan are formatted. #3404.
Thanks for doing this. But see this output:
http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/sparc%20solaris10%20gcc%20trunk/builds/255/step-test/0
which shows that on Solaris with gcc it's 'NaN', not 'nan'. This is one
of the reasons I didn't get into documenting it. And on Windows, it's
even worse (no Windows box handy, sorry).
I see.
Do we want to document the actual behavior, or do we want to normalize
all platforms so that they all return 'nan' and 'inf'?
I'd find a consistent behavior nice, if it isn't too much work to
get one.

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
