Here's an alternative proposal that doesn't involve a new operator.

Decimal has a context manager like that already (I don't know if it
supports allowing NaNs to equal each other, though).
Interesting. I did not know that. [...] Ah, 9.4.3 Context Objects. Cool.
Rather than adding the whole thing to float, perhaps extending Decimal's
context with that option is a possible route.
The OP needed to work with floats. The data storage systems he was using stored
IEEE floats IIRC, so Decimal may not be suitable and possibly has performance
effects too - dunno.
I would think he'd need something implemented in the float type.

Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it.
