I thought about adding functionality to distfromq to handle non-numeric values, but I actually think maybe it's the right thing for that package to throw errors (though I filed an issue there to make the error it generates clearer). For example, qnorm errors out if you pass it a string and it seems like we should expect similar behavior from distfromq.
