Research direction

No file or test path is named; first locate the existing type-test generation for datetime64 and timedelta64 operands and identify the relevant binary operators. Add coverage for the stated None, int, datetime, date, and default combinations, then verify each expected result type, including the given timedelta64.add example.

Description

numpy.generic topic: testing

Generate type-tests for all combinations of datetime64[{None, int, datetime, date, <default>}] and timedelta64[{None, int, timedeta, <default>}] for each of the relevant binary operators.

So e,g, one of them will verify that timedelta64[None].__add__(datetime64) -> datetime64[None]
