//   * allows having older plugins than the current core TensorFlow (though
//     we are still warning users): the entries that core TensorFlow expects
//     but plugins didn't provide will be set to `nullptr` values and core
//     TensorFlow will know to not call these on behalf of users;
//   * increased security as plugins will not be able to alter function table
