> Rust specifies that if one input is NaN then the other is returned but doesn’t say what happens if both are NaN.

It does. If both are NaN a NaN is returned. Note, however, that when Rust says that a NaN is returned, this means that any NaN can be returned. So if you have min(NaN0, NaN0) the result isn't necessarily NaN0, it might be another NaN with a different payload.

Right. That’s what I was getting at but I didn’t know the NaN-return rule.
