I guess you mean when isnan is available but broken, since we do not
support platforms without IEEE 754 support ? I want to take care of this
for my umathmodule cleaning (all the configuration checks/replacements
are in place; if we want to be paranoid, we could check whether isnan
works for all types if found on the system).
