Documentation problem
The arguments
labels
,index
andcolumns
are documented as "single label or list-like". But a set is accepted:The pandas source declaration in the typing declarations does not allow a set to be passed.
Suggested fix for documentation
Unclear.
Either we update the docs to say a set is allowed (and update the internal types), OR we add a check to see if a set is passed and raise an exception.
