You have omitted the detail that double.nan !is double.init.

On a more general note, I know many professionals in other fields 
that never write small articles about what they are doing. So is 
it normal just for programmers to write (small) articles like 
this? I write them, and other programmers I know write similar 
things. Maybe to program you need (among other things) active 
linguistic centers in the brain :-)
