Pack and Unpack return new tensors within which the individual elements
are reshuffled according to the packing specification. This has the
consequence of modifying the canonical order in which a given operator
(i.e., Matmul) accesses the individual elements. After bufferization,
this typically translates to increased access locality and cache
behavior improvement, e.g., eliminating cache line splitting.

Pure is reserved for operations that don't have any undefined behavior, this does not seem to be the case here.
