floating point - nan initializers

[Derek Parnell]

I support the use of NaN as an initializer. I only wish it could also be  
done for all numerics.

I work with a language (Euphoria) in which all variables are set to  
uninitialized and it doesn't allow you to use an uninitialized variable.  
And it  doesn't have syntax to initialize them at declaration time. This  
strict enforcement has made me appreciate the importance of explicitly  
initializing variables to improve readibility and removing potential bugs.

(I just wish Euphoria would allow one to initialize at declaration time  
though <g>)
