> OTOH, IEEE 754 does cover floating-point to int conversions (5.4.1, 5.8): those fall under 'general-computational operations', and as such should signal when given an sNaN. That sounds good. Let's keep the ValueError then. We could consider InvalidOperation like with Decimal('snan').to_integral(), but that's probably confusing in the context of the math module.
