nan or -nan?

Some floating point operations produce .nan:
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
double zero = 0;
double infinity = double.infinity;
writeln("any expression with nan: ", double.nan + 1);
writeln(" zero / zero : ", zero / zero);
writeln(" zero x infinity : ", zero * infinity);
writeln("infinity / infinity : ", infinity / infinity);
writeln("infinity - infinity : ", infinity - infinity);
}
Last time I checked, I think the program above would produce nan for all
of those operations. Now some are -nan when compiled with 64-bit dmd
2.056 on Linux:
any expression with nan: nan
zero / zero : -nan
zero x infinity : -nan
infinity / infinity : -nan
infinity - infinity : -nan
Is that expected? Does it matter?
