Naming things is hard. Standardize, normalize, canonicalize are all really generic terms, so maybe we can think of an appropriate name specific to missings?

possible options with missing in the name:

  • Missingify
  • MakeMissing, UseMissing, AsMissing, ToMissing, SpecifyMissing, DeclareMissing
  • MissingValue / MissingValues

puns on making things "go missing":

  • Erase, Hide, Remove, Clean, Cleanse, Mask
  • Refine, Rarefy

Could also have a function called stdmis and a type named StandardizeMissings?

MissingValues((NaN, -9999.0, 0.0)) and DeclareMissing((NaN, -9999.0, 0.0)) both seem better to me
