IsNumeric("NaN") = Yes
IsNumeric("NAN") = No
#("one" is "ONE")# = Yes
#("NaN" is 1)# = No
<cfset x = "NaN">
#(x is 1)# = Exception
So we've got a magic value that cannot be assigned to a variable. Great.
Not only is "NaN" completely undocumented, but it's completely inconsistent.
By and large, CF is case-insensitive - so now we've got a case-sensitive,
undocumented value which we cannot safely set variables to. This includes
variables that are user-entered.
