This is interesting! The latest information I had said that the standard had
special functions minnum and maxnum that favour numbers over _quiet_ NaNs
(which seems to be only halfway compatible with fmax() and fmin() in C99) , but
as usual with IEEE there's not an awful lot of information freely available,
and they even charge $81 for the _old_ version of the standard.
Regards,
Alex
