So if we're going to have a NaN read/write syntax, we *MUST* require implementors to guarantee that, no matter what, their reader willnever throw an error and return a NaN.
Okay, I'm comfortable with that.Perhaps we need to defined a general invalid object which has (a) no read syntax and (b) is returned by read whenever it has a problem with the input (numbers too big, objects to big, bad syntax, etc.)
