If struc comparisions compare value by value, and both have Nan 
values in one member variable, then the two otherwise completely 
identical structs will always compare false even though they are 
identical. I think it would be best to have the ability to 
compare structs in two ways, one as struct equivalence, which 
would be the default method, the other as vale by value 
equivalence, which would have to be programmer defined through 
overload of == operator.
