No, for those who think it is a hassle to write [1]

static inline bool qFuzzyComparePossibleNulls(double p1, double p2)
{
     if (qFuzzyIsNull(p1)) {
         return qFuzzyIsNull(p2);
     } else if (qFuzzyIsNull(p2)) {
         return false;
     } else {
         return qFuzzyCompare(p1, p2);
     }
}

or some inline equivalent of that everywhere they just want to compare 
two doubles they don't know the values of and that might thus be 0. Note 
that either of the two doubles may be 0, not just the first as you seem 
to imply.
