+MaskedArray gains a ``__array_ufunc__`` method to better handle ufuncs
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+The MaskedArray class now has an implementation of `__array_ufunc__` that
+handles deferrals to the desired implementations of the ufunc. If a masked
+implementation of a ufunc exists, that implementation will take priority.
+This means that code called with MaskedArray ma as ``np.ufunc(ma)`` will
+behave the same as ``np.ma.ufunc(ma)``. Additionally, adding this helps with
+dispatching to subclasses and preserving the proper types when another
+implementation should take priority.
