in thread Definition of numerically equal and rationale for 'you' == 'me'

I didn't miss it, I misunderstood it. I thought you meant it was returning NaN for all strings, not just those starting with "nan".

That's rather weird, but it is consistent with "123abc".

    Exactly !! ... that's quite correct ... but it *wouldn't* be correct if (the intention of) pemungkah's assertion (point "2.") had been correct.
    And *that* is what prompted my post in the first place.

    That point "2." of pemungkah's that I refer to begins with "Move right character by character".
