The Julia folks have done some interesting work with missing

Looks like it would be pretty easy to do something similar in D 
with either unions or Algebraic. The time-consuming part would be 
making sure everything works seamlessly with mathematical 
functions.

That was interesting. I wonder how it will be implemented as smooth in D, because it has to make sure everything that computes with empty is still empty and I believe it'll be a little challenging
