    I suppose the easiest solution would be to search-and-replace ",nan," with ",?," or ",,". Here is a version of soybean in this format:

    I could modify Waffles to treat "nan" as an unknown value, but "nan" often occurs because someone inadvertently divided 0 by 0, and I think it is generally a bad idea to silently swallow errors, since this can lead to bugs that are difficult to find.
