[Kstars-devel] Handling the "data unavailable" cases with NaNs.

[Akarsh Simha]

Hi

I have a suggestion. Many a times, data like magnitudes could be
undefined. Right now, we just supply some numbers for unavailable data
(eg: 99.99 for the magnitude, and I think exact zeros for RA and Dec).

I think it might be better to replace these by NaNs, so errors in
these objects will not propagate. Of course, we should add code
everywhere to handle these NaNs properly.

This is a drastic change because it could result in segfaults
everywhere. So I thought I should discuss it before I do something
like this.
