It's an old wish of mine that this be used for the invocation of opCmp
(instead of opEquals), returning an int, and valid for
struct/class/built-ins/etc... (like perl's <=>, I think)
As for the other operators, I never used them and I don't think I would
use them ever often enough to remember what operator had what function.
Using isNan sure is more clear and therefor safer :)
As per Don's comment, the compiler would just have to remember that
after a comparison the NaN flag is still correctly set and any isNan()
could simply be skipped, resulting in only an additional branch instruction!
