Nothing wrong with those, IMO.

I don't see these in my output (with Gawk 4.2.1).  I see

  nan <  2 -> false
  nan <= 2 -> false

which looks reasonable.

> nan >  inf -> true
> nan >= inf -> true

Nothing wrong with this, IMO.

> -nan >  inf -> true
> -nan >= inf -> true

Again, I don't see this.  I see this instead:

 nan <  -inf -> false
 nan <= -inf -> false

which is again reasonable.

Do we agree about the principles?  I was rather under the impression
that we didn't, in which case submitting a patch would just waste
everybody's time.
