Yup, I've had many NaN nightmares. Whenever you have an uninitialized
variable in C++ there's about a 1% chance that it's a NaN. That's really
fun to track down. NOT.
I think it's criminal that this feature has been in hardware since ***
1980 *** and not made available even in systems languages.
BTW, the line numbers I gave were for DMD2, but should also work for
DMD1. Dual license Artistic/GPL, since it's from the DMD front-end.
Only tested on Windows, I believe it should be OK on Linux and OSX, but
someone should check.
