Lots of people have noted that being able to eval a repr is only a vague
goal in Python, that works *often* at most.
Still, the fact that it *almost* works for floats, except for
certain specific values, is a bit annoying.
Maybe the solution is for the repr of a float to be float('inf')
instead of just 'inf'.
That still wouldn't work with literal_eval, but I've realised that
literal_eval only works on tuples, not lists, so it's of limited
use anyway.
