Hi,

The numpy.busday_count contains a bug where the number of days returned for
a call np.busday_count(begin_date, end_date) can be incorrect if end_date
is before begin_data in time. The problem has been around since 2011.

There are two possible ways to solve this:

1. Fix the bug. This is proposed in
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/23229
2. Update the documentation and accept the behaviour

The issue has been discussed in the triage meeting and the proposal is to
fix the bug (
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/23197#issuecomment-1460610260). Since
this modifies the behaviour of a method that has been around for a long
time, we wanted to check whether there are any objections or concerns.

- Are there objections to fixing the bug and thereby modifying the
behaviour?
- Would there be objections to deprecating the busday functionality and
moving it to a separate package (e.g. numpy financials)

With kind regards,
Pieter Eendebak
