A little correction for ｢.say for NaN..0｣ -- it prints 1024 NaNs, not
-Infs.

Code​:
.say for NaN..0

NaN

Also, here is another one that actually *counts up*!
Code​:
.say for NaN..NaN

I think that this stuff is resolved. Not sure when exactly because bisectable is refusing to work today, but this is TESTNEEDED.

The problem went away during the glr. Bisectable points to 96 candidates, so nothing useful there.
