I could but I don't want to. MaskedArray should stay as low-level as possible, 
and overwriting __getattr__ would slow things down. Besides, it works quite 
well as it is, and leaves the user the possibility to modify it so that 
elements of _basedict/_optinfo can be accessed as properties for additional 
checks.
