Evaluate adding non-inherited ak.MultiIndex methods to the pandas MultiIndex accessor #5198
Description
Some functionality available on ak.MultiIndex (legacy) is not inherited by pd.MultiIndex when constructing a MultiIndex from ArkoudaExtensionArray-backed levels. A MultiIndex accessor already exists (or is planned) and could be used to expose this additional functionality.
This ticket is to evaluate whether selected ak.MultiIndex 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.MultiIndex methods, if any, belong in the accessor and which should remain legacy-only.
