  The tf.nn.swish operation uses a custom gradient to reduce memory usage.
  Since saving custom gradients in SavedModel is currently not supported, and
  one would not be able to use an exported TF-Hub module for fine-tuning, we
  provide this wrapper that can allow to select whether to use the native
  TensorFlow swish operation, or whether to use a customized operation that
  has uses default TensorFlow gradient computation.

  Args:
    features: A `Tensor` representing preactivation values.

  Returns:
    The activation value.
