// Explicitly detect NaNs and canonicalize them to the quiet NaN value as would be returned by
// __builtin_nan("") on systems implementing the IEEE-754 recommended (but not required) NaN
// signalling/quiet differentiation (such as x86).  Unfortunately, some architectures -- in
// particular, MIPS -- represent quiet vs. signalling nans differently than the rest of the world.
// Canonicalizing them makes output consistent (which is important!), but hurts performance
// slightly.
//
// Note that trying to convert MIPS NaNs to standard NaNs without losing data doesn't work.
// Signaling vs. quiet is indicated by a bit, with the meaning being the opposite on MIPS vs.
// everyone else.  It would be great if we could just flip that bit, but we can't, because if the
// significand is all-zero, then the value is infinity rather than NaN.  This means that on most
// machines, where the bit indicates quietness, there is one more quiet NaN value than signalling
// NaN value, whereas on MIPS there is one more sNaN than qNaN, and thus there is no isomorphic
// mapping that properly preserves quietness.  Instead of doing something hacky, we just give up
// and blow away NaN payloads, because no one uses them anyway.
