-1 should be encoded using double underscore

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

    @Test
    public void testMissingValue() {
        final int[] series = new int[] { 19, -1, 20 };

        final IEncoder encoder = 
EncoderFactory.getEncoder(EncodingType.ExtendedEncoding);

        final String encoded = encoder.encode(series);

        Assert.assertEquals("e:AT__AU", encoded);
    }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<e:AT_[_]AU> but was:<e:AT_[]AU>

Expect double underscore encoding for -1 value, but get single char which 
is against the data format spec:

Missing values are indicated with a double underscore (__).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

svn trunk
