Returns the smallest element or null if the sequence is empty.
If any of elements is NaN, this function returns NaN.
The operation is terminal.

Returns the smallest element or null if the sequence is empty.
If there are multiple equal minimal elements, this function returns the first of those elements.
The operation is terminal.
