    Extract combined index: return intersection or union (depending on the
    value of "intersect") of indexes on given axis, or None if all objects
    lack indexes (e.g. they are numpy arrays).

    Parameters
    ----------
    objs : list of objects
        Each object will only be considered if it has a _get_axis
        attribute.
    intersect : bool, default False
        If True, calculate the intersection between indexes. Otherwise,
        calculate the union.
    axis : {0 or 'index', 1 or 'outer'}, default 0
        The axis to extract indexes from.
    sort : bool, default True
        Whether the result index should come out sorted or not.

    Returns
    -------
    Index
