problem with outliers in boxplot() and boxplot.stats() - with range/coef=0
the outlier points are drawn within the space covered by whiskers:

> boxplot(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,50),range=0)
# draws the whiskers extending to the data extremes but outlier points at
# 1,2,8,50; likewise:
> boxplot.stats(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,50),coef=0)
# yields
# $stats
# [1]  1  3  5  7 50
#
# $n
# [1] 9
#
# $conf
# [1] 2.893333 7.106667
#
# $out
# [1]  1  2  8 50
