[New-bugs-announce] [issue22090] Decimal and float formatting treat '%' differently for infinities and nans.

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson:

There's a minor inconsistency between Decimal and float formatting for the `%` format type when handling infinities and nans:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> format(float('inf'), '.2%')  # includes trailing '%'
'inf%'
>>> format(Decimal('inf'), '.2%')  # no trailing '%'
'Infinity'

I think the Decimal result should have a '%' on it.
