Are there recommended workarounds now?  I am thinking of constantly using Datasets instead of DataArrays with mask arrays to accompany every data array, but I'm not sure if that's the best interim solution.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,199188476

It would be very desirable to have a clean solution for this to keep arrays from being converted to `float`. 
Also, `NaN` does not necessarily mean `NA` which already caused me quite some head-scratching in the past. Further, it would be a very cool indicator to see which values of a dense array should be converted into a sparse array.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,199188476
