(Sorry, haven't looked at pkgbook yet.) That point is debatable. Perhaps the isdiscrete() function should act in the "more liberal" way, since if you want to know whether a series is explicitly marked as discrete you can check the "discrete" member of the bundle returned by getinfo(). To see what exactly the more liberal variant does, take a look at gretl_isdiscrete() in gretl_utils.c.
