NaNs, if you find a difference, check if the involved values are NaNs.

When e.g. summing the elements of a DP vector, it is hard to see why
that couldn't be done on the FPU stack (with 80 bits) before (possibly)
storing the result to a DP variable in memory. I am not sure that Forth
users would be able to resist that approach.
