xx throws an error for Inf, -Inf, NaN, but x does not. I believe that these
operators should behave similarly in such edge cases.

From @lizmat

Fixed the “a” x Inf case with 059dac9f0be8c563f1a, tests needed

Did *not* fix the “a” x *, as per discussion at​:

these
operators should behave similarly in such edge cases.

Based on liz's comment, marking closable with tests.

The problem is that xx behavior has changed.

Ah no, it's alright. For anybody else struggling to understand what is going on here​:

“xx (Inf, -Inf, NaN)” were throwing errors. Now “xx Inf” is OK, but “xx (-Inf, NaN)” are still errors.
“x (Inf, -Inf, NaN)” were not throwing errors. Now “x Inf” is NYI, and “x (-Inf, NaN)” error out.

So the issue is fixed indeed. It is now consistent, and half of the tests are there (MasterDuke++).

Before we can close this, we need tests for “xx -Inf” and “xx NaN”.
