------------------

In the preceding examples, we created DatetimeIndex objects at various
frequencies by passing in frequency strings like 'M', 'W', and 'BM to the
``freq`` keyword. Under the hood, these frequency strings are being translated
into an instance of pandas ``DateOffset``, which represents a regular
frequency increment. Specific offset logic like "month", "business day", or
"one hour" is represented in its various subclasses.
