    Since Caffe2 uses static variable registration, you can optionally load a
    separate .so file that contains custom operators and registers that into
    the caffe2 core binary. In C++, this is usually done by either declaring
    dependency during compilation time, or via dynload. This allows us to do
    registration similarly on the Python side.

    Args:
        name: a name that ends in .so, such as "my_custom_op.so". Otherwise,
            the command will simply be ignored.
    Returns:
        None
