           Summary: Nullable(T, T nullValue) does not support NaN
           Product: D
           Version: D2

A little unsurprising, but quite annoying. See this simple test case:

void main() {
    import std.stdio;
    import std.typecons;

    Nullable!(float, float.nan) Value;
    writeln(Value.isNull, " <- should be true");
    Value.nullify();
    writeln(Value.isNull, " <- should be true");
};

Value.isNull always evaluates to false.

A simple patch in typecons.d seems to resolve the issue,
in the isNull function on line 1478, replace
    return _value == nullValue;
with
    return _value is nullValue;
I don't *think* this change could cause other issues, but I'm not completely
certain.

Tested using DMD v2.063.2 on WinXP.
