 the output of the corresponding basic method called
    on the original ``_data``.

    If `onmask` is True, the new mask is the output of the method called
    on the initial mask. Otherwise, the new mask is just a reference
    to the initial mask.

    Parameters
    ----------
    funcname : str
        Name of the function to apply on data.
    onmask : bool
        Whether the mask must be processed also (True) or left
        alone (False). Default is True. Make available as `_onmask`
        attribute.

    Returns
    -------
    method : instancemethod
        Class method wrapper of the specified basic array method.
