How does the quantile function treats/handles nan values in a series
(and/or matrix column if the treatment is different)?

It appears strange to have a proper number value for the 0.8-quantile
and for the 0.9-quantile so that the inequality condition can be
checked, but not for the 0.85-quantile.
Hm, something seems weird with quantile and missings:
<hansl>
m = seq(1,5)'
eval quantile(m, 0.5) # 3, correct
m[4] = NA
print m
eval quantile(m, 0.5) # 1, weird
</hansl>
cheers
