new constants ALL_FLAGGED
its odd that to_mask=UNFLAGGED
is often our default, because it implies that values that has no flag gets masked / filtered.
i vote for an alias ALL_FLAGGED=-np.inf
or even the simpler ALL=-np.inf
..
also we should provide a simple alias for no masking at all. since we abandoned True/False
for to_mask
we should find a way to disable masking..
some suggestions all/none:
-
to_mask=ALL_FLAGGED
,to_mask=NONE_FLAGGED
-
to_mask=ALL
,to_mask=NONE
-
to_mask=MASK_ALL
,to_mask=MASK_NONE
-
to_mask='all'
,to_mask='none'
-
to_mask='all'
,to_mask=None
(this needs some adjustment of existing code, because we use None as a default, but this will go anyways see #258 (closed) )
