The description of the `isunordered()` macro states that it returns non-zero if none of its parameters are NaNs, whereas it actually returns non-zero if any of its parameters are NaNs.

I propose changing the sentence:

> The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if
> and only if neither x nor y are NaNs.

to read instead:

> The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if
> and only if any of x or y are NaN.

The word 'any' could be replaced with 'one or both' but I think 'either' tends to have an exclusive connotation so may not be appropriate.
