No one in the C++ standard, but one that follows or tries to follow
the TR1 math recommandation. Notice that std::isnan() is not
unconditionally defined as a function. It gets defined only if the
compiler is configured with C99 support (which is the default on some
systems). If not, you get it only in __gnu_cxx.
