Description

pandas 3 includes a class of performance improvements to return a `RangeIndex` from `Index[int]`-creating operations when possible e.g. `set_index(some integer column)`. The basic APIs/operations where this applies can be found in https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/whatsnew/v3.0.0.html#performance-improvements.

pandas achieves this by introspecting the `Index` data to see if the values are representable by an equivalent `range`, so cuDF will need a similar routine to implement this feature.
