[Rd] range( <dates>, na.rm = TRUE ) (PR#10508)
I don't think that is the right fix. All methods for min/max should now support na.rm=TRUE (but not finite=TRUE), so range.default should just call min and max with that argument. I'd need to verify those 'should's first .... Brian On Tue, 11 Dec 2007, Peter Dalgaard wrote:> (Drats! Jitterbug is playing tricks with the PR# again.
