I don't think missingstring always needs to be a string for all read functions, which can make the name confusing. I would consider renaming it to missing_value. For the read functions that require a string, we can always convert it to a string in the read_* function or set a type restriction in the arguments.
It's not as easy as doing a find-replace because the CSV.jl package uses the missingstring argument.
