The behavior of signaling NaNs is entirely system-dependent: they can kill
the process in a low-level C library, about which we can do nothing, or they
may not raise an exception it all, about which we can also do nothing.

philologists, psychologists, biologists and neurologists, along with
whatever blood can be got out of grammarians. - Russ Rymer
