Is D floating point semantics too advanced?

[Hans-Eric Grönlund]

Hello!

I've written a post on my blog wondering if the floating point semantics is too advanced. The problem I have with it is that I can't write something like this:

if (someValue == real.nan) {...}

It will never be true, which - for me - is unintuitive.

The post is at http://www.hans-eric.com/2007/08/23/is-floating-point-handling-too-advanced-in-d/
and I'd love to get some comments.
