Dear R-developers,
I just realized that rank() behaves inconsistent if combining one of na.last in
{TRUE|FALSE} with a ties.method in {average|random|max|min}.
The documentation suggests that e.g. with na.last=TRUE NAs are treated like the
last (=highest) value, which obviously is not the case:

e.g. ties.method = average except for NAs!?
Interesting. I was aware of the S-Plus vs. R difference,
