pd.cut() should allow datetime-like bins when applied to a datetime-like series

[gandhis1]

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

s1 = pd.Series(data=pd.date_range("1/1/2020", "1/1/2021"))
s2 = pd.cut(s1, bins=[np.datetime64("3/1/2020"), np.datetime64("9/1/2020")])  # error

In pandas-stubs\core\reshape\tile.pyi, need to change the bins argument of cut wherever we say Sequence[int] | Sequence[float] to List[Scalar] . I think that will fix this. Can't use Sequence[str], because that will match a single string.

Could maybe even do something like:

def cut(
    x: Series[S1],
    bins: Sequence[S1],  # or with list[S1]
    ...

Not sure whether that is too strict.

Definitely too strict. There is no Series[np.datetime64], for example.
