[Numpy-discussion] ENH: ratio function to mimic diff

[Nathaniel Smith]

I'd also like to see a more detailed motivation for this.

And, if it is useful, then that would make 3 operations that have special
case pairwise moving window variants (subtract, floor_divide, true_divide).
3 is a lot of special cases. Should there instead be a generic mechanism
for doing this for arbitrary binary operations?
