The -0.0 is only for conversion to text.  Otherwise -0.0 is preserved both on 
input and output (including input text conversions).  It is only the conversion 
of -0.0 TO text that drops the sign.  NaN becomes a NULL (ie, a double is not 
stored, a NULL value is stored).  Everything else is preserved including Inf 
and -Inf.
