The reason the comment is in the code is because this discussion happened before on this same list. Returning "the largest non-NaN value" I consider flat-out crazy as a possibility (all the more so since doing that is sensitive to exactly where the NaNs occur in a way that requires a good understanding of Timsort to predict). See my possible solution in this thread. -- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons.
