[Numpy-discussion] Pull request: Split maskna support out of mainline into a branch

[Travis Oliphant]

I think we should go ahead and merge this PR.  It would be ideal to make a branch with the current code and then merge this into master. 

I haven't had the time to do this.   If you can do this Nathaniel, then it will really help with 1.7 release. 

Thanks,

-Travis
