Description

For any of TensorWrapper's ctors which take a Buffer, the ctor should make sure that non-empty Buffers are consistent with the shape and allocators provided. This means the Buffer should be reshaped and/or reallocated as needed. If the Buffer is empty, then we assume that shape and allocator are being used as hints for how to eventually fill the Buffer (and nothing needs to be done until the buffer is filled).

Research direction

Start by locating TensorWrapper constructors that accept a Buffer, then inspect the Buffer shape and allocator interfaces they use. The change is complete when non-empty buffers are reshaped or reallocated to match the supplied shape and allocator, while empty buffers remain unchanged until filled.
