This is a draft resolution to #701 and some related edge cases. The issue seems to be more general than originally described with handling any of the non-finite values (including NAs).
The currently implemented behavior is the following:
Numeric non-finite values (
NA_real_
,NA_integer_
,NaN
,Inf
and-Inf
) will be treated as aqty
> 1 for pluralization purposes.Non-numeric NA values (
NA_character_
andNA
) are treated as a non-numeric input soqty
is based on the vector's length.I've opted not to throw an error for numeric
NA
s orNaN
cases since that seemed a bit severe but it also seems like a plausible outcome and happy to switch to that behavior if that is a better option.
