It's one reason why D is simply better than those other languages.

(Not many language designers have experience doing commercial floating point 
work, and it shows. I was an early member of NCEG (Numerical C Extensions Group) 
which worked hard to add proper floating point support to the C Standard, 
including exacting support for NaN. I implemented it in Zortech C/C++ years 
before anyone else did.)
