/**  @file  qnan.h
 *   @brief Some utilities for our dealings with qnans.
 *
 *   @note Some loaders use qnans to mark invalid values tempoarily, also
 *     Assimp explicitly enforces undefined normals to be set to qnan.
 *     qnan utilities are available in standard libraries (C99 for example)
 *     but last time I checked compiler coverage was so bad that I decided
 *     to reinvent the wheel.
