Subject: design advice on predicate name

Ciao,
I have two predicate functions that act upon a vector
or matrix: the hit predicate produces a single #t/#f
result while the map predicate produces a vector or rank
2 array of #t/#f values.
Using generic functions I can write functions with
math operators that act upon common numbers or vector and
matrices without visible difference.
Example: I have two predicates HIT-NAN? and MAP-NAN?
which one it is better to call NAN?
By the way: the NUMBER? predicate is supposed to return
#t for proper number SMOBs or for any object that can
be used as argument of math operators?
