I guess this depends on how you interpret NaN. I think it makes sense to
skip NA (not available) when computing mean values. But if NaN is the
result of some faulty calculation somewhere in your program, then it can
be nice to see the NaN's propagate. Otherwise you might never notice you
had a bug.
