I think the possibilities that have been mentioned so far (here or in the PR) are:
contagious contagious_mask propagate propagate_mask propagated `propogate_mask=False` seemed to imply that the mask would never be set, so Eric also suggested propagate_mask='any' or propagate_mask='all' I would be happy with 'propagated=False' as the name/default. As Eric pointed out, most MaskedArray functions like sum implicitly don't propagate, currently, so maybe we should do likewise here.
