Apparent bug in max() when mixing scalars and NaN

[peterbourgon]

1. Construct an expression that returns both scalars and NaNs: expr
2. Evaluate max(expr)

Expected behavior: the largest scalar.

Actual behavior: nondeterminstically, either the largest scalar, or NaN.

Further notes:

• topk(1, expr) is also nondeterministic
• max(sort(expr) reliably returns NaN
• max(sort_desc(expr)) reliably returns the largest scalar (and is the workaround I'm using for now)
