Idiom #270 Test for quiet or signaling NaN

Given a floating point number r1 classify it as follows:
If it is a signaling NaN, print "This is a signaling NaN."
If it is a quiet NaN, print "This s a quiet NaN."
If it is not a NaN, print "This is a number."

use POSIX qw(:nan_payload nan isnan issignaling setpayload);
my @r = (nan, nan, 1.234);

setpayloadsig $r[1],'999';

foreach my $r1 ( @r ) {
    if ( isnan $r1 ) {
        printf "This is a %s NaN\n",
            issignaling($r1) ? 'signaling' : 'quiet';
    } else {
        printf "This is not a NaN: %s\n", $r1;
    }
}

# Output:
# This is a quiet NaN
# This is a signaling NaN
# This is not a NaN: 1.234

Use POSIX nan function to init array members 0 and 1 to NaN; init member 2 to a float. Use setpayloadsig to set member 1 to a signalling NaN. Loop over the list and uses isnan and issignaling to test and print.
if (r1.isNaN) {
  print("This is a quiet NaN.");
} else {
  print("This is a number.");
}

Dart has no concept of signaling NaN. NaN are all quiet AFAIK.
