Evaluate adding non-inherited ak.Index methods to the pandas Index accessor #5193
Description
Some functionality available on ak.Index is not inherited by pd.Index when using ArkoudaExtensionArray. An Index accessor already exists and could be used to expose this additional functionality.
This ticket is to evaluate whether selected ak.Index methods should be implemented or surfaced via the accessor, based on:
Usefulness to pandas-style workflows
API clarity and discoverability
Performance or Arkouda-native advantages
The goal is to identify which non-inherited ak.Index methods, if any, belong in the accessor and which should remain legacy-only.
