    Examples
    --------
    A new ``MultiIndex`` is typically constructed using one of the helper
    methods :meth:`MultiIndex.from_arrays`, :meth:`MultiIndex.from_product`
    and :meth:`MultiIndex.from_tuples`. For example (using ``.from_arrays``):

    >>> arrays = [[1, 1, 2, 2], ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'blue']]
    >>> pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=('number', 'color'))
    MultiIndex([(1,  'red'),
                (1, 'blue'),
                (2,  'red'),
                (2, 'blue')],
               names=['number', 'color'])

    See further examples for how to construct a MultiIndex in the doc strings
    of the mentioned helper methods.
