One thing I think would be nice for floating point numbers, is that I'd prefer if there were two separate types - one where NaN and the two infinites are allowed, and one where they are not allowed but instead emit an error. The former would be used by some few mathematicians etc, and the rest of us could use the latter. The upside would be better error handling close to the source of the issue, and better optimizations as the not-normal values throw a wrench into optimizing math.
