-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 using 1.48 version of lexical_cast works for "nan" but throws an error for
 "NaN". I do not think there is a formal specification for Not-A-Number in
 string form, but "NaN" is a common usage form.

 I have not checked for other variations such as Inf, +Inf, or -Inf which
 also are common variations
