There's more than one way to spell NaN in binary and they tend to mean
different things IIRC. Signalling NaNs and quiet NaNs and all of that. (Can
you tell how superficial my knowledge is here, good).

However, if you are inserting the NaNs yourself as placeholders, then they
should all be the same kind and a binary comparison should be fine.
