I think we should go in the opposite direction. A float is a a legitmate floating point value. A union of float and some other special non-floating point values is something else.

Notwithstanding the fact that NaN is "not a number," it is a legitimate floating-point value, i.e. a legitimate value for the type float. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
