Slowly we are moving toward full support of sparse tensor *outputs*. First
step was support for all-dense annotated "sparse" tensors. This step adds
support for truly sparse tensors, but only for operations in which the values
of a tensor change, but not the nonzero structure (this was refered to as
"simply dynamic" in the [Bik96] thesis).
Some background text was posted on discourse:
