I too am in the -1 category for adding an extra operator-suite
because of the confusion it will add (this is one of my biggest
pet peeves with PHP/JS).
If you want to compare things in a NaN-aware way, you can either
spell it out explicitly:
if x == y or (math.isnan(x) and math.isnan(y)):
do_stuff()
or create a wrapper function to do that for you:
def equalish(x, y):
return x == y or (math.isnan(x) and math.isnan(y))
if equalish(w, z):
print("yep")
else:
print("nope")
