[Numpy-discussion] Adding 'where' to ufunc methods?

[Benjamin Root]

Another usecase would be for MaskedArrays. ma.masked_array.min() wouldn't
have to make a copy anymore (there is a github issue about that). It could
just pass its mask into the where= argument of min() and be done with it.
Problem would be generalizing situations where where= effectively results
in "nowhere".

Cheers!
