[matplotlib-devel] contour/contourf and masked arrays

The basemap toolkit relies on the 'badmask' parameter in 
contour/contourf to mask out areas outside the desired map projection 
region in matplotlib 0.80.   It works quite well. Unfortunately, the new 
masked array support in CVS doesn't (I get all kinds of weird artifacts, 
especially for contourf but also for contour).  Can the old badmask 
functionality be added back in for 0.81, at least temporarily until the 
masked array support stabilizes?
