min / max do not always return the other argument when one of the arguments is NaN
I assume that this is well-known, but it tripped me up:
Prelude> let inf = 1/0
Prelude> let nan = 0/0
Prelude> min nan inf
Infinity
Prelude> min inf nan
NaN
Prelude> min 3 nan
NaN
Prelude> min nan 3
3.0
Prelude> max nan inf
NaN
Prelude> max inf nan
Infinity
Prelude> max 3 nan
3.0
Prelude> max nan 3
NaN
