Sadly, D has to map onto imperfect hardware :-(We do have NaN values for chars (0xFF) and pointers (the villified 'null'). Think how many bugs the latter has exposed, and then think of all the floating point code with no such obvious indicator of bad initialization.
Yes, if 'int' had a NaN state it would be great. (Though I remember hearing about a hardware that did support it.. somewhere).
