Neglegting the NaNs would make more sense to me (treating them as NA), but 
that would be something like:

b = [2 5 NaN 7];
b(isnan(b)) = []
b =

   2   5   7

cumsum(b)
ans =

    2    7   14

which is different. And maybe that is a reason - nancumsum would be ambigous 
(treat the NaNs as 0 or treat them as nonexisting?). 
nansum is not ambigous.
