[R-SIG-Finance] Rquantlib discount curve

[Cedrick Johnson]

That's not *entirely* true, there are some corporates out there...

Take a look at GS Cap II (5.793 cpn), maturing 12/31/2099
KO (7 cpn) 5/15/2098
Citi (6 7/8 cpn) 2/15/2098
just to name a few...

As to the original poster's question, that I do not have the answer to..
