 * \brief An interpreter for Relay.
 *
 * This file implements a simple reference interpreter for Relay programs.
 * Given a Relay module, and a Relay expression it produces a value.
 *
 * The interpreter's values are a naive representation of the values that
 * can be produced by a Relay program and are exposed via tvm::Node's
 * system to Python for introspection and debugging.
 *
 * The interpreter's intent is to serve as a reference semantics for the Relay IR,
 * as well as for debugging and testing.

 *\brief Create a Interpreter function that can

 *
 * The resulting value can be passed to Python, making it easy to use
 * for testing and debugging.
 *
 * The interpreter interprets the program fragments not supported by the
 * TVM runtime, although the interpreter is naively implemented it uses
 * TVM operators for evaluating all operators.
 *
 * Our intent is that this will never be the most efficient implementation of
 * Relay's semantics, but a readable and clear one.
 *
 * \param mod The function module.
 * \param context The primary context that the interepreter runs on.
 * \param target Compiler target flag to compile the functions on the context.
 * \return A function that takes in an expression and returns a value.
