The same problem occurs if the argument is a `list`. The same inconsistency
happens depending on the position in the list that `nan` happens to be.
>>> max([5, nan, 3, 0, 8, -10])
8
>>> min([5, nan, 3, 0, 8, -10])
-10
>>> min([nan, 5, 3, 0, 8, -10])
nan
>>> max([nan, 5, 3, 0, 8, -10])
nan
Passing a `tuple` with the same values produces the same inconsistency.
For the examples above, replacing the lists with sets with the same values
(i.e. replace [] with {}) always results in `nan`. This may have to do with
the hash value of `nan` always making the first value in iteration be `nan`
given the sample space.
