API candidates for standardization

[kgryte]

The following is a list of API candidates for standardization.

Notes

• The list is derived from Kaggle notebooks analysis #22, Study on the pandas API: What is the most commonly used? #3, and API comparison data.
• The list does not include statistics APIs which have already been spec'd (see Add statistical methods #33).
• The list is not exhaustive. This list is intended to provide an initial focus for standardization.
• The categories are loosely defined and follow precedent established in the array API specification.
