Description

Description

Make the constructors shuffle it so we never have to worry about this case in the rewrites (happen all the time, and we almost always bail out not to worry about complexity). Make the AdvancedOp refuse already at init looking at idx_list

Research direction

Start with the AdvancedSubtensor and AdvancedIncSubtensor constructors and inspect how init processes idx_list. Trace the rewrites that currently bail out for non-consecutive advanced indices. Done means constructors normalize or reject that case consistently, so the affected rewrites no longer need to handle it.
