Ideally this would either be built into NumPy (i.e., with a custom dtype, which will require some work before its possible) or someone could build an ""integer with NA"" duckarray, which could implement the various NumPy protocols such as `__array_function__`. The later is a bit less elegant but could be done today with very few changes in xarray.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,596352097
