Carlos,

I understand, isnan() is a candidate of future ANSI C library extention
but not involved in the standard yet. I want to avoid adding such merginal
ones into the body of cint. Cint works with 30+ compiler and CPU combination.
It is very easy to damage this level of portability by adding merginal 
language construct. 

Good news is that you can embed isnan() into the interpreter easily by 
using makecint or rootcint. Please read ROOT tutorial or makecint documentatio
n
in cint source code package.
