class_docstr: Array of integer (optional missing) values.
  
  .. versionadded:: 0.24.0
  
  .. warning::
  
     IntegerArray is currently experimental, and its API or internal
     implementation may change without warning.
  
  We represent an IntegerArray with 2 numpy arrays:
  
  - data: contains a numpy integer array of the appropriate dtype
  - mask: a boolean array holding a mask on the data, True is missing
  
  To construct an IntegerArray from generic array-like input, use
  :func:`pandas.array` with one of the integer dtypes (see examples).
  
  See :ref:`integer_na` for more.
  
  Parameters
  ----------
  values : numpy.ndarray
      A 1-d integer-dtype array.
  mask : numpy.ndarray
      A 1-d boolean-dtype array indicating missing values.
  copy : bool, default False
      Whether to copy the `values` and `mask`.
  
  Returns
  -------
  IntegerArray
  
  Examples
  --------
  Create an IntegerArray with :func:`pandas.array`.
  
  >>> int_array = pd.array([1, None, 3], dtype=pd.Int32Dtype())
  >>> int_array
  <IntegerArray>
  [1, NaN, 3]
  Length: 3, dtype: Int32
  
  String aliases for the dtypes are also available. They are capitalized.
  
  >>> pd.array([1, None, 3], dtype='Int32')
  <IntegerArray>
  [1, NaN, 3]
  Length: 3, dtype: Int32
  
  >>> pd.array([1, None, 3], dtype='UInt16')
  <IntegerArray>
  [1, NaN, 3]
  Length: 3, dtype: UInt16
