Description

Currently NestedTensors give errors (examples - https://pytorch.org/tutorials/prototype/nestedtensor.html and https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nested.html)

File <@beartype(models.transformer.Attention.forward) at 0x7f7ac394d430>:23, in forward(__beartype_object_221882800, __beartype_get_violation, __beartype_conf, __beartype_object_140169208358272, __beartype_object_140169211732352, __beartype_func, *args, **kwargs)
...
RuntimeError: Internal error: NestedTensorImpl doesn't support sizes. Please file an issue.

Just an idea, could be helpful for more folks! :) this library has already saved me from many bugs btw 🙏

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the linked NestedTensor examples and the reported models.transformer.Attention.forward traceback. Trace how runtime checking handles the NestedTensor input, then define regression coverage showing that the documented examples no longer raise the reported NestedTensorImpl sizes error.
