Comment:

 Hi Andrew,

 icl code is not intended to be NaN complete. NaN is a weird animal that
 breaks concepts the icl is based on. Completing icl for NaN would make the
 code unnecessarily clumsy for cases that are hardly ever used. If you
 desire to complete your code for NaN cases you will have to do it in your
 code or write your own NaN layer around the icl.

 Regards,
 Joachim
