I should be able to tackle something like adding a compiler

default FP variables to zero. If I write the code, would
anyone
object to having a flag for this?
I strongly doubt Walter & Andrei will accept this in the main
DMD trunk.
Do you have an idea as the reason? To specific/insignificant
an issue to
justify a compiler flag? They don't like new contributors?
I'll wait for a definite yes or no from one of them before I
approach this.
It's a flag that changes the behavior of the generated output.
That's a no no.
Don't *all* flags technically change behavior? -m64 for instance.
How is this any different?
Besides, NaN as default is debugging feature. It's not the same
thing as -debug/-release, but I think it makes sense to be able
to disable it.
