DataFrame.aggregate: Only perform aggregating type operations.
DataFrame.transform: Only perform transforming type operations.

Notes
-----
In the current implementation apply calls `func` twice on the
first column/row to decide whether it can take a fast or slow
code path. This can lead to unexpected behavior if `func` has
side-effects, as they will take effect twice for the first
column/row.

Examples
--------
>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[4, 9]] * 3, columns=['A', 'B'])
