Description

• Comparing on NaN should return no results.
• Comparability throws exception today but should return nulltype when comparing incompatible types.
  • When Vertex /Edge/VertexProperty is compared, today it throws but it should return nulltype.
  • When nulltype is compared, today it throws an exception but it should return nulltype
