It isn't about size, but rather the nans can come in different 
forms. Consider:

---
void main() {
         float f = 7.0;
         f /= 0;
         import core.stdc.stdio;
         printf("%d\n", *cast(int*)&f);
         if(f is float.init)
                 printf("nan\n");
}

That's a different nan than the float.init pattern. I don't know 
if you can start with a float.init and come up with a different 
pattern though, but i expect you can.
