Very funny. So every time I'm about to modify a variable containing
what ought be be a non-NaN value, and after every such computation, I
need to check all variables for the NaN value, e.g.

if (isNaN(a)) Xception ();
if (isNaN(b)) Xception ();
c= a + b;
if (isNaN(c)) Xception ();

and so on. That what you're saying ??
