Description

A lot of existing code already has column-major layout. Many existing libraries take column-major layout. We should give the option to declare a tensor with that layout to allow further optimizations

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating tensor declaration and memory-layout handling, then trace how layout choices affect existing optimizations. Done means callers can declare column-major tensors and the layout is usable by the relevant optimizations.
