Comment:
!NaNs are an area where it's easy for someone ignorant to screw up. Would
some of you guys who know and care about numerics like to come up with a
concrete code change -- maybe it's only one line in the definition of
`decodeFloat` -- and then we'll apply it? Ideally a patch, but it'd be
good enough to say "change this line to say that".
Oh, and please give us a test or two with expected output.
Thanks
Simon
