There are probably other functions in arraysetops that could be fixed 
easily to work with masked arrays, feel free to do it if you like. I 
have never worked with the masked arrays, so the np.asarray problem had 
not come to my mind. Also, if you change np.asarray to np.asanyarray, 
add a corresponding test emplying the masked arrays to 
test_arraysetops.py, please.
