This reminds me of a request I have been meaning to make.

S-plus time series functions normally use only the longest contiguous
portion of the series with no missing values. I think a good way to implement
this would be to have an "na.omit" method for time series, but this
isn't a generic function in R (It is in SPLUS 3.3). Could this be changed?
