 - Bug in Timestamp-Timestamp not returning a Timedelta type and datelike-datelike ops with timezones (:issue:`8865`)
 - Made consistent a timezone mismatch exception (either tz operated with None or incompatible timezone), will now return ``TypeError`` rather than ``ValueError`` (a couple of edge cases only), (:issue:`8865`)
