conflict of separator and missing

[<pl...@pi...>]

I have a data csv datafile which uses -99.99 as it missing data value.

with the following settings the 'missing' data are getting plotted.

  set datafile separator ","
  set datafile missing "-99.99"


  show datafile missing

         "-99.99" in datafile is interpreted as missing value


As a wild guess I tried the following and the missing data now get 
correctly removed.

  set datafile missing "-99.99,"


This seems to be an illogical order of parsing.

Surely the data line needs to be parsed into its constituent data 
columns before trying to detect the missing data string.
