Just a curiosity here (as I can guess of plausible reasons myself, so there probably are some official stances).<div><br></div><div>Is there a reason NaNs are not instances of NaN class? Then x == x would be True (as they want), but [this NaN] == [that NaN] would be False, as expected.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I guess that raises the question about why x == x but sqrt(-1) != sqrt(-1), but it seems a lot less of a big deal than all of the exceptions with container equalities.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
