Detailed Description
template<typename T>
struct theplu::yat::utility::less_nan< T >
Functor that behaves like std::less with the exception that it treates NaN as a number larger than infinity.
This functor is useful when sorting ranges with NaNs. The problem with NaNs is that std::less always returns false when one of the arguments is NaN. That together with the fact that std::sort only guarantees that an element i is never less than previous element –i. Therefore {10, NaN, 2} is sorted according to this definition, but most often it is desired that the 2 is located before the 10 in the range. Using this functor, less_nan, this can easily be achieved as std::sort(first, last, less_nan)
The default implementation uses std::isnan(T), which consequently must be supported.
There is a specialization less_nan<DataWeight>

trueif x is less than y. NaNs are treated as a number larger than infinity, which impliestrueis returned if y is NaN and x is not.
