  """map on the list of tensors unpacked from `elems` on dimension 0.

  The simplest version of `map_fn` repeatedly applies the callable `fn` to a
  sequence of elements from first to last. The elements are made of the
  tensors unpacked from `elems`. `dtype` is the data type of the return
  value of `fn`. Users must provide `dtype` if it is different from
  the data type of `elems`.

  Suppose that `elems` is unpacked into `values`, a list of tensors. The shape
  of the result tensor is `[values.shape[0]] + fn(values[0]).shape`.

  This method also allows multi-arity `elems` and output of `fn`.  If `elems`
  is a (possibly nested) list or tuple of tensors, then each of these tensors
  must have a matching first (unpack) dimension.  The signature of `fn` may
  match the structure of `elems`.  That is, if `elems` is
  `(t1, [t2, t3, [t4, t5]])`, then an appropriate signature for `fn` is:
  `fn = lambda (t1, [t2, t3, [t4, t5]]):`.

  Furthermore, `fn` may emit a different structure than its input.  For example,
  `fn` may look like: `fn = lambda t1: return (t1 + 1, t1 - 1)`.  In this case,
  the `dtype` parameter is not optional: `dtype` must be a type or (possibly
  nested) tuple of types matching the output of `fn`.

  To apply a functional operation to the nonzero elements of a SparseTensor
  one of the following methods is recommended. First, if the function is
  expressible as TensorFlow ops, use

  ```python
    result = SparseTensor(input.indices, fn(input.values), input.dense_shape)
  ```

  If, however, the function is not expressible as a TensorFlow op, then use

  ```python
  result = SparseTensor(
    input.indices, map_fn(fn, input.values), input.dense_shape)
  ```

  instead.

  Args:
    fn: The callable to be performed.  It accepts one argument, which will
      have the same (possibly nested) structure as `elems`.  Its output
      must have the same structure as `dtype` if one is provided, otherwise
      it must have the same structure as `elems`.
    elems: A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors, each of which
      will be unpacked along their first dimension.  The nested sequence
      of the resulting slices will be applied to `fn`.
    dtype: (optional) The output type(s) of `fn`.  If `fn` returns a structure
      of Tensors differing from the structure of `elems`, then `dtype` is not
      optional and must have the same structure as the output of `fn`.
    parallel_iterations: (optional) The number of iterations allowed to run
      in parallel.
    back_prop: (optional) True enables support for back propagation.
    swap_memory: (optional) True enables GPU-CPU memory swapping.
    infer_shape: (optional) False disables tests for consistent output shapes.
    name: (optional) Name prefix for the returned tensors.

  Returns:
    A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors.  Each tensor packs the
    results of applying `fn` to tensors unpacked from `elems` along the first
    dimension, from first to last.

  Raises:
    TypeError: if `fn` is not callable or the structure of the output of
      `fn` and `dtype` do not match, or if elems is a SparseTensor.
    ValueError: if the lengths of the output of `fn` and `dtype` do not match.

  Examples:
    ```python
    elems = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
    squares = map_fn(lambda x: x * x, elems)
    # squares == [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36]

  The simplest version of `scan` repeatedly applies the callable `fn` to a
  sequence of elements from first to last. The elements are made of the tensors
  unpacked from `elems` on dimension 0. The callable fn takes two tensors as
  arguments. The first argument is the accumulated value computed from the
  preceding invocation of fn. If `initializer` is None, `elems` must contain
  at least one element, and its first element is used as the initializer.

  Suppose that `elems` is unpacked into `values`, a list of tensors. The shape
  of the result tensor is `[len(values)] + fn(initializer, values[0]).shape`.
  If reverse=True, it's fn(initializer, values[-1]).shape.

  This method also allows multi-arity `elems` and accumulator.  If `elems`
  is a (possibly nested) list or tuple of tensors, then each of these tensors
  must have a matching first (unpack) dimension.  The second argument of
  `fn` must match the structure of `elems`.

  If no `initializer` is provided, the output structure and dtypes of `fn`
  are assumed to be the same as its input; and in this case, the first
  argument of `fn` must match the structure of `elems`.

  If an `initializer` is provided, then the output of `fn` must have the same
  structure as `initializer`; and the first argument of `fn` must match
  this structure.

  For example, if `elems` is `(t1, [t2, t3])` and `initializer` is
  `[i1, i2]` then an appropriate signature for `fn` in `python2` is:
  `fn = lambda (acc_p1, acc_p2), (t1, [t2, t3]):` and `fn` must return a list,
  `[acc_n1, acc_n2]`.  An alternative correct signature for `fn`, and the
   one that works in `python3`, is:
  `fn = lambda a, t:`, where `a` and `t` correspond to the input tuples.

  Args:
    fn: The callable to be performed.  It accepts two arguments.  The first
      will have the same structure as `initializer` if one is provided,
      otherwise it will have the same structure as `elems`.  The second
      will have the same (possibly nested) structure as `elems`.  Its output
      must have the same structure as `initializer` if one is provided,
      otherwise it must have the same structure as `elems`.
    elems: A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors, each of which
      will be unpacked along their first dimension.  The nested sequence
      of the resulting slices will be the first argument to `fn`.
    initializer: (optional) A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors,
      initial value for the accumulator, and the expected output type of `fn`.
    parallel_iterations: (optional) The number of iterations allowed to run
      in parallel.
    back_prop: (optional) True enables support for back propagation.
    swap_memory: (optional) True enables GPU-CPU memory swapping.
    infer_shape: (optional) False disables tests for consistent output shapes.
    reverse: (optional) True scans the tensor last to first (instead of first
      to last).
    name: (optional) Name prefix for the returned tensors.

  Returns:
    A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors.  Each tensor packs the
    results of applying `fn` to tensors unpacked from `elems` along the first
    dimension, and the previous accumulator value(s), from first to last (or
    last to first, if `reverse=True`).

  Raises:
