According to Eli Zaretskii:

Should it be added to ``Inf´´ (-> ``@code{Inf}'') as well? 

I'm not too happy with the current formulation about
caseinsensitivity:
The functions @code{strtod}, @code{strtof}, @code{strtold} and
@code{_strtold} now understand ``Inf'', ``Infinity'', ``NaN'',
``NaN(<anything>)'' and their variations in case in the input string.

English speakers speak up.


Right,
