(and so are probably minCount, minPos, or mostly everything else that is
related to opCmp).

>From the discussion https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1360
:
min(0, float.nan); //Yields 0
max(0, float.nan); //Yields 0
min(float.nan, 0); //Yields float.nan
max(float.nan, 0); //Yields float.nan

Not sure what the correct solution is: Throwing an exception on NaN might be
too expensive? How about an assert, combined with an explicit: "Passing nan is
an ERROR", and let the user decide if/ifnot to pay for the check?
