As such, I have a lot of heartburn calling this NaN.  I think that what you
really want is the addition of metavalues to the integer type.

Okay, I was using the term NaN just to illustrate a problem (or problems) I
have been facing again and again. It's not that I am recommending use of
this term for this purpose. I am receptive to the use of any other suitable
term (NAI - not-an-integer, perhaps) as long as it solves this problem.

Cheers, dan
