Bill argues that NaN should be treated as a number,
even by read.table() and I think he is right.
{ scan(.) does fine ! it *does* treat NaN as numbers ! }
At the moment, I don't even see where the problem is;
the read.table internal function type.convert()
does well with NaN's :
> cc <- as.character(c(pi,NaN))
> str(type.convert(cc))
num [1:2] 3.14 NaN
