Dear Bjoern,
Thank you for your comments regarding conversion to float vs NaN [1].
As per the IEEE definition, NaN is returned as a result of an arithmetic
operation,
like 0/0. It is not appropriate to use it for conversions. So, in the
case of getFloatTrait, we have a consistent approach to throw an
exception when it is called for a trait that cannot be converted to a
float type.
Please respond within two weeks if you are not satisfied.
Best regards
-Nandini
