Description
It's possible to add and remove mask planes dynamically, and their bit values get correctly written to FITS headers if that's how you choose to persist the Masks. Unfortunately, the only way to guess what they mean is to scrutinise the name.
Please add the ability to associate a doc string with each mask plane, which should be persisted along with the data, and made available in sensible ways in the Mask API.
