62  // <synopsis>
63  // This class is the base class of the templated class MArray. It contains
64  // the functions that are not template dependent.
65  //
66  // MArray is developed to make it easier to handle arrays with an
67  // optional mask. The array is always present, but the mask is optional.
68  // MArrayMath contains functions to operate on such arrays.
69  //
70  // Similar to numpy.masked_array and the MeasurementSet FLAG definition,
71  // a mask value True means that the corresponding value is masked off,
72  // thus is not taken into account in reduction functions like <src>sum</src>.
73  // on a masked array. In operations like addition, masked off values are
74  // processed because testing the mask value is more expensive than an
75  // addition (even if the value is a NaN). For an operation with multiple
76  // operands, the mask of the result is the OR of the operand masks.
77  //
78  // MArray can be null meaning that the array is a null value. It can be
79  // used to indicate that a table cell does not contain an array.
80  // A null MArray has an empty array and mask. Operations where an operand
81  // is a null MArray, result in a null MArray.
