Another usecase would be for MaskedArrays. ma.masked_array.min() wouldn't have to make a copy anymore (there is a github issue about that). It could just pass its mask into the where= argument of min() and be done with it. Problem would be generalizing situations where where= effectively results in "nowhere".
