I mean, the rule is really easy: Simply any comparison involving 
NaN should result in false. Only the result of the comparison can 
be further processed as boolean expression.

Consider this:

```d
if(a!=a) { /*kill your harddisk*/ }
```

Would you expect this code to ever be executed?

But if you set float a = NaN, then it will!
We should avoid this.
