Supported, yes. Recommended, no. IEEE-754 specifies that the *minimum *operation propagates NaNs while the /alternate /*minimumNumber *operation drops NaNs.
It should be noted, this is a change in the Standard that is just 1 year old. The previous version did define minimum as similar to the minimumNumber version.
Thanks for this info. I really dislike "standards" being hidden behind paywalls. I believe that contributes to people disregarding them. And it's sloppy to not highlight changes in a new version of a standard. --- Bruce
