Because I am writing an implementation of the IEEE support modules in GNU 
Fortran, which are part of the Fortran 2003 standard. And the standard provides 
for a procedure (IEEE_CLASS) to distinguish between IEEE_SIGNALING_NAN and 
IEEE_QUIET_NAN. It doesn’t explicitly state that supporting sNaN is required, 
so I can also just not return it.
