r"""Associate a tensor value with its tangent to create a "dual tensor" for forward AD gradient computation.
The result is a new tensor aliased to :attr:`tensor` with :attr:`tangent` embedded
as an attribute as-is if it has the same storage layout or copied otherwise.
The tangent attribute can be recovered with :func:`unpack_dual`.
This function is backward differentiable.
Given a function `f` whose jacobian is `J`, it allows one to compute the Jacobian-vector product (`jvp`)
between `J` and a given vector `v` as follows.
Example::
>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("Undefined variables")
>>> with dual_level():
... inp = make_dual(x, v)
... out = f(inp)
... y, jvp = unpack_dual(out)
