It probably wouldn't hurt to pass the skip flag as another bool argument.
Then again, DUNE hasn't been written with non-standard math in mind, so I
didn't bother.

isnan() isn't part of the C++2003 standard, as far as I could determine.  It
is part of C99, but it is a macro there.  So we definitely should remove the
namespace from it.

Or maybe it is indeed best (and clearest) to use an extra flag.

This is the first age that's paid much attention to the future, which
is a little ironic since we may not have one.
