I'm looking at doprnt.c in libc. We evidently print "Unnormal" for
certain floting point numbers. The standard doesn't mention them. Is
this ok?

Can NaNs be negative? The standard seems to say we should print
"[-]nan" or "[-]nan(n-char-sequence)" ("n-char-sequence" is in
italics). What is n-char-sequence supposed to be? The bits verbatim,
or what?
