Jakub,

I do not know the details here, but are you sure this is wrong? The
preceding part of the sentence says [and  a string starting with "nan"
for NaN, in the case of f conversion], and I take the "*" to mean a
wildcard pattern match, analogous with [a string starting with "nan"
for NaN]. This is just my guess though.

Cheers,

Michael
