I do not remember seeing any concrete proposals to that effect. But I
would generally support the addition of token to represent these values.

Bear in mind that perfdata is not always numeric - it may be a string
value. So what ever means are used to encode a token for the above cases
must be distinquishable from a text value of (say) NULL that a moniroed
application might return.
