quiet and singnaling NaNs - which of these supports D and how?

do i get an execption when a signaling NaN occure?

Walter can give the definitive answer but I'm pretty sure that (at the moment)
D does not use signaling NaNs. That is, any signaling NaNs that occur are only
visible as quiet NaNs, and therefore, no exceptions are thrown.

Signaling NaNs have fallen out of favor. No exceptions get raised for them.

a signaling NaN becomes then just a quiet NaN (as Paul D. Anderson said) 
- no different behaviour?
