--- Comment #11 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
#3 is not possible as there is no non-NaN-payload mode implemented, and
implementing it would require not only different error handling but also
different transport of errors between intermediary results up to final results
of a formula expression; while technically possible I wouldn't call it feasible
or viable, as the effort would be huge, add even more runtime penalty, and
possibly overlooking things adds uncertainty.

#2 might work to some degree, someone would have to actually try on such an
inferior architecture what happens. My (hopeful) guess is that _some_ NaN is
transported so there will be _some_ error (e.g. indicating numeric failure) but
any detail about what specific error will be lost. But that also means that
code reacting on specific error information will fail, so not everything will
work.
