Thanks a lot, Suharto.
To me, the example is convincing that the change (I commited
Friday), svn rev 71087 & 71088, are a clear improvement:
(As you surely know, but not all the other readers:)
Before the change, the above example gave *different* results
for 'x' and 'as.integer(x)', the integer case *not* counting the NAs,
whereas with the change in effect, they are the same:
> x <- as.integer(dx <- c(1,2,3,3,NA))
> table(x, exclude=NaN); table(dx, exclude=NaN)
x
1 2 3 <NA>
1 1 2 1
dx
1 2 3 <NA>
1 1 2 1

But the change has affected 6-8 (of the 8000+) CRAN packages
which I am investigating now and probably will be in contact with the
package maintainers after that.
