Thanks for keeping me honest.  I'll definitely improve this
before I push anything.  I don't have a good list of platforms on
which isnan is missing, because Bruno's list by platform only
covers functions, but I can do better than what is given here.  I
can come up with some platforms that have incorrect results by
merging the docs for isnanf and isnanl.
