I don't even think it is needed to document this because [+-] inf and nan are 
valid double values. So any double<->string conversion without it would be 
incomplete and buggy. And the reason its actually implemented in QLocale is 
probably that different people can write inf in the native language when 
interacting with the software.

Have fun,
