Because you possibly have an array where some cells have missing data
and you want to run your functions directly against this array without
caring about the possibly missing data. Thats how I think R works. All
functions work with cells where the data is missing. Correct me if I'm
wrong. R might become the mostly used tool for statistics any day. It
might well be worth the effort to look at their solutions if you ask me.

Why not just use another number? Many more bits that way...
