The spec defines precise numeric constants which do not overflow. Consequently, +/-Inf and NaN values were excluded. The case was not clear for -0.0 but they are mostly of interest to determine the sign of infinities which don't exist. That said, the conversion rules explicitly say that T(x) (for a numeric x and floating-point type T) is the value after rounding per IEEE-754. The result is constant if x is constant. Rounding per IEEE-754 can produce a -0.0 which we cannot represent as a constant. Thus, the spec is inconsistent. Attempt to fix the inconsistency by adjusting the rounding rule rather than letting -0.0 into the language. For more details, see the issue below. Open to discussion. Fixes #12576.
