You have a point, and SRFI 67 leaves them implementation-defined altogether.
Still, with them being at least semi-standardized in R6RS and R7RS,
I thought there should be some way, if you know you are dealing with
inexact numbers, to recover from the situation by supplying your own
NaN handler.  That allows you to put arbitrary inexact numbers into a collection
such as a set or hash table.
