/*!
 * \file tl/op/region.h
 * \brief Tile memory region descriptor op (bridge to carry BufferRegion via
 * Call args).
 *
 * Why tl.region instead of passing BufferRegion directly?
 *
 * - While TIR can represent a BufferRegion, when a BufferRegion is passed as a
 *   call argument through call_intrin/FFI, the Python->C++ conversion lowers it
 *   to a BufferLoad(indices). To encode an interval inside indices, the FFI
 *   typically uses Ramp(base, stride, lanes) to represent a contiguous slice.
 * - Ramp(lanes) may only be a constant or vscale*k (scalable vector). A general
 *   PrimExpr (e.g., H1 - H0) is not allowed as lanes, so dynamic extents would
 *   make the lowered BufferLoad invalid.
 * - Moreover, BufferLoad only carries indices, not per-axis extents. Downstream
 *   tile operators (e.g., tl.copy, tl.reduce) that require both min and extent
 *   cannot losslessly recover dynamic extents from a BufferLoad alone.
 *
 * tl.region is a small transport-only op that solves this:
 * - The frontend packs buffer + mins (from BufferLoad.indices) + extents into
 *   Call args, allowing dynamic extents to be expressed explicitly.
 * - The backend (NormalizeToBufferRegion) reconstructs a BufferRegion from the
 *   tl.region call without losing information.
 * - The op itself carries no semantics in Lower/InferLayout and is only used as
 *   a bridge for argument passing.
