No, I cannot imagine either. Those functions have different identities. They may be considered *equal* but they should not be *identical*. I can imagine a language in which they are considered indistinguishable and optimized down to one, but if you consider them to be the same function, then you've abolished all concept of identity. Also, I have no idea what any of this has to do with nans and container membership. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
