Yeah, I thought about that too after sending my message. This version
LGTM, although maybe the comment could be slightly more verbose with
explicit reference to Inf/NaN as being the cases we need to quote.

in each of these paths; snprintf is not a terribly cheap thing.
It might be worth expanding that to appendStringInfoChar/
appendStringInfoString/appendStringInfoChar.
