False
>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(int)

>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(np.array(['a', 'b']))
False
>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(np.array([1, 2]))
False
>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(np.array([], dtype=np.datetime64))  # no unit
False
>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(np.array([],
                           dtype="datetime64[ps]"))  # wrong unit
False
>>> is_datetime64_ns_dtype(pd.DatetimeIndex([1, 2, 3],
