Fun fact: from the IEEE 754-2008 spec:
Four mutually exclusive relations are possible: less than, equal, greater than, and unordered. The last case
arises when at least one operand is NaN. Every NaN shall compare unordered with everything, including
itself. Comparisons shall ignore the sign of zero (so +0 = −0). Infinite operands of the same sign shall
compare equal.
