DOC: core/generic/drop docs from array-like to list-like

[jreback]

related #5248

[jreback]

cc @ruidc better? (I know its only 1 word.......)

[ruidc]

if it works, it works, but to me is not any clearer.

[jreback]

still unclear

can you suggests doc/code change to make more clear?

[ruidc]

what about:
"passing a string or tuple will be treated as a single index label" ?

[jreback]

sure...

[sadruddin]

I thought the confusing bit of the doc is that it's not clear that one can pass a single label. So why not this:

labels: scalar or list-like

Or whatever would be appropriate to designate a single label

[ruidc]

.... as indeed single integer labels are treated the same way, so it's not just tuples and strings that are treated this way - but I haven't delved beyond the commits today to understand when this happens

[jtratner]

How about: single label or list-like?

[sadruddin]

that's much clearer indeed!
