It's much like floating point NaN values, which are 'sticky'.
Yes, but std.conv doesn't return NaN if you try to convert
"banana" to a double.
Maybe it should :-)
There was a time when operations on NaNs where painfully slow.
Also, since NaNs tend to spread, once a NaN appears, there usual
is not much of a result left. Debugging used to be painfully hard
if NaNs are enabled. We used to rely on floating point exceptions
instead.
This might or might not be relevant.
