Description

I don't think there is any reason to require wrt and p to be 1d. As long as wrt and p have the same shape(s) everything should be fine.

Maybe we can add a test for that and remove the "1-dimensional" from the docs?

Research direction

Start by locating the hessian_vector_prod implementation and its documentation, then find the existing tests for this entry point. Add coverage for matching wrt and p inputs with more than one dimension, and update the documentation to remove the 1-dimensional requirement.
