# Tensor functions used *only* on index tensor
# ----------------
# These operators are light-weighted, so it is acceptable to fallback to
# numpy operators if currently missing in the framework. Ideally in the future,
# DGL should contain all the operations on index, so this set of operators
# should be gradually removed.

# Other interfaces
# ----------------
# These are not related to tensors. Some of them are temporary workarounds that
# should be included in DGL in the future.
