This PR supports non-numeric data types (timestamp and ranges) in
Series.diff
andDataFrame.diff
. InDataFrame.diff
, datetime ranges are already supported becauseDataFrame.shift
works. ButSeries.diff
doesn't use theSeries.shift
implementation, so there wasn't support for datetime ranges.closes #10212.
