  // If `is_async=false` (constructor argument), `cancellation_manager` must
  // live until `Join` finishes. If `is_async=true` it must live until `Join` is
  // followed by `TFE_ContextAsyncWait` to clear pending operations. It will be
  // used to cancel all other operations if any fails.

  // Requests that the worker thread execute the specified operation. Blocks

  // `is_async` operations finish. In addition to allowing the caller to cancel
  // the operation, its `StartCancel` method will be called if op execution

    of the contribution must be compared against the cost of maintaining the
    feature.
*   Full new features (e.g., a new op implementing a cutting-edge algorithm)
    typically will live in
    [tensorflow/addons](https://github.com/tensorflow/addons) to get some
    airtime before a decision is made regarding whether they are to be migrated
    to the core.

*   Other:
    *   Add necessary shape util support for bfloat16.
    *   Add a way to run ops using a step function to MonitoredSession.
    *   Add `DenseFlipout` probabilistic layer.
    *   A new flag `ignore_live_threads` is available on train. If set to
        `True`, it will ignore threads that remain running when tearing down
        infrastructure after successfully completing training, instead of
        throwing a RuntimeError.
