Number each item in each group from 0 to the length of that group - 1.

        Essentially this is equivalent to

        >>> self.apply(lambda x: pd.Series(np.arange(len(x)), x.index))

        Parameters
        ----------
        ascending : bool, default True
            If False, number in reverse, from length of group - 1 to 0.

        See Also
        --------
        .ngroup : Number the groups themselves.

        Examples
        --------

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame([['a'], ['a'], ['a'], ['b'], ['b'], ['a']],
        ...                   columns=['A'])
