// A few notes about the Caffe2's protobuffer convention:
// (1) Most objects are registered by their types, such as operators and nets.
//     For these, we have a string-type field "type" for registration purposes.
// (2) We do not use extension because that used to create quite some conflicts
//     in Caffe's protobuf design.
// (3) We have not used any proto3 specific features, such as Any or Map. This
//     is mainly for backward compatibility purposes but we may consider using
//     those in the future.
