Sounds pretty much like a NaN whose typeof is not (a) 'number'. Except it allows NaN as payload. And I suppose missing == missing is true.

Just curious without wanting to install Julia, what does NaN + missing yield? missing I suppose?

I guess missing, because the general rule Float + Missing -> Missing (dispatching rule based on the types of the values) should apply regardless of the actual float value / before looking at the float value.
