Description
The kind, char, and num attributes of the SleefQuadPrecDType have weird values:
- kind is
\x00 - char is
\x00 - num is -1
At least kind should be set to f, the others can probably be left as-is since this is an extension dtype that doesn't have a unique identifier yet.
I'd be happy to submit a patch for kind if you can give me guidance on where to fix it.
