DECIMAL_ALLOW_INF, DECIMAL_ALLOW_NAN

Synopsis#include <flint/decimal.h>
DECIMAL_ALLOW_INFsource
DECIMAL_ALLOW_NANsource

Admit infinities, respectively NaN, as floating-point numbers (the flags have no effect in ball contexts). Without these flags, operations that would produce such values (overflow when exponent limits are set, 1/0, \infty - \infty) return GR_DOMAIN or GR_UNABLE.
