is.na for Categories

Crunch categorical variables allow you to set multiple categories as missing. For instance, you might have "not answered" and "doesn't know" both coded as missing. This function returns a logical vector of all dataset entries that fall into any of the missing categories. It also allows you to append additional categories to the list of missing categories using the setter.
