If supporting NaNs in geometric types excites you, then by all means
step up and work on it, but it's not a high-priority thing for most
of us.  We've put some effort into the area before (e.g. [1]) but
arriving at self-consistent definitions is hard, and implementing
them is messy, and TBH the geometric types are a development backwater
in the first place.

At this point I'd be about ready to forbid NaNs in geometric types.
But even making that happen is work that nobody's volunteered for.
