[issue1762561] unable to serialize Infinity or NaN on ARM using marshal

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

I'm not sure like the naming of the format. "mixed-endian" could mean
anything. I doubt IEEE specifies this as a possible byte representation
(but then, I'm uncertain whether IEEE specifies big-endian and
little-endian, either).

One option would be to call it "ARM, mixed-endian", assuming this can be
only found on ARM.

Another option would be to call it "IEEE,
bytes-big-words-little-endian", describing precisely how the format
works (IIUC).

Tim, any opinion?
