\brief Basic tests of nonfinite loopback with output and input facet.

\detail Basic loopback test outputs using the so-called 'legacy' facets,
"1.#INF"  and "1.#QNAN".

and reads back in using nonfinite input 'legacy' facet, and
(if possible) checks if loopback OK.

NaN output was 1.#QNAN
NaN input was 1.#QNAN
