Fixes #768. We can potentially allow passing
missingstring
per column,but that seems like a more rare need than turning off missing value
parsing all together, which allows string columns to parse empty strings
correctly by default. The reason per column isn't quite as compelling is
that you can already pass a vector of missing string values to
missingstring
to check any of the values formissing
. So it wouldonly be the use-case of wanting to parse a missing string in one column
but not another where per-column missing strings would be useful.
