Quoting from https://go.dev/ref/spec#Conversions, section
"Conversions between numeric types"
In all non-constant conversions involving floating-point or complex
Looks like a bug to me, so I filed https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56023
Thanks for reporting it.

I expected int64(math.Inf(+1)) == math.MaxInt64, but it does not.
In fact, these three values are equal:
int64(math.Inf(+1))
int64(math.Inf(-1))
math.MinInt64
This surprised me, and the language spec didn't clarify this specific
behavior, so I wondered whether it was intentional. If so, why?
