It still seems odd to me that there are many different NaN values in floating point arithmetic. Those bits could have improved precision!

Fun morning hack: add pkg-config libraries to flycheck settings! https://github.com/Wilfred/.emacs.d/commit/ffc0e21e9bcb6d53a16db6dd4558346314b66df2 (Emacs practically entices you to extend it!)
