Except this is actually worse, since there are many possible values which evaluate to NaN.

EDIT: I do not know how D implements NaNs; they may have magic to make them more sane to work with.

D does not implement NaNs, it just relies on the IEEE FP hardware to do it.

What D does do is expose NaNs so the programmer can rely on their existence and use them in a straightforward manner.
