Description
I've been trying out this library as I jump into learning Julia and I'm wondering what support there is for missing values in the dataset. Any recommendations that you have based on your experience for how to deal with these missing values would be very helpful.

Research direction
Start with the reported build_forest(labels, features, 3, 10) reproduction and inspect build_tree and build_forest at .julia/v0.3/DecisionTree/src/DecisionTree.jl lines 153, 171, 232, and 239. Determine the intended behavior for missing values and define completion by handling the example without the reported conversion errors, with coverage for the supported behavior.
